My Not So Secret Amazing PUMPKIN CAKE!






This cake is awesome. It's moist. It's quick. It's NOT packed with calories. It's perfect for this time of year. It's addicting!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Box of Spice Cake Mix (18oz)
  • 2 Cups of Pureed Pumpkin
  • 1/3 Cup Apple Sauce (1 small cup in the Apple Sauce 6 packs)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • Brown Sugar
  • Cinnamon & Nutmeg (Or Pumpkin Pie Seasoning)
  • Cream Cheese Frosting

Directions:
  • Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix Dry Spice Cake Mix, Pumpkin, Apple Sauce & Egg at speed 1 then 2 as the mix picks up moisture.
  • I slowly add the water - honestly, just judge the mixture, you want it to not be too thick but not too thin.
  • At a slow speed tap in your Cinnamon, a pinch of Nutmeg or as much Pumpkin Spice as you want.
  • With a spatula, I stir brown sugar into the bowl, if it's chunky - good!
  • Cupcakes, loaf or bundt are the best! With a loaf or bundt grease then sprinkle flour.
  • Bake for recommended time on cake box - you'll probably need to add another 8-10 minutes because it's so moist with the pumpkin.
  • Remove from oven, let sit for less than 10 min then if in loaf or bundt flip onto plate to frost with Cream Cheese Frosting so it can melt down the sides and into the cake! If you're going to a party sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on the frosting.
