I’ve been baking a lot of treats since it’s been so cool and rainy lately. I have to say that we love anything with pumpkin in it and I bake pumpkin treats all year long. But there’s just something about fall and pumpkins – they really are just so perfect together.
Yesterday I made Pumpkin Cake and I thought I’d share the recipe with you since it’s so quick and easy (and since I realized I haven’t posted in a week) 🙂
PUMPKIN CAKE

1 box yellow cake mix
1 15 oz can solid pack pumpkin puree
1/2 cup white sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup oil (I use light olive oil but any vegetable oil is ok)
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Pre-heat oven to 350 and prepare a bundt pan by lightly spraying with vegetable oil spray.
Place all the ingredients into a bowl and mix for 2-3 minutes. Batter will be thick but smooth.
Pour into the bundt pan and place into the oven.
Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool and invert on to a plate then dust with powdered sugar or your favorite frosting/glaze. A thin cream cheese frosting drizzled over it is good!
I froze half of the cake. I wrap in plastic wrap and then foil. It keeps in the freezer for several months. It’s so handy having something homemade in the freezer that you can pull out for unexpected (or expected) company.
Also, I always stock up on the box cake mixes when they’re on sale. I can and do make cakes from scratch but sometimes I don’t feel like it and also my daughter and husband wouldn’t make a cake from scratch. So it’s good to have the box mixes on hand so that they can bake when they feel like it.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
Looks and sounds scrumptious! Wish I could sit down with you and share a plate and a cup.

Looks yummy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. My daughter sent me a picture of one she made yesterday (half already eaten) :D, but did not mention what recipe she used.
Enjoy your evening.

This looks really good. Thanks for the recipe!
Mmm pumpkin! Thank you for posting the recipe!
Looks delicious, Manuela! I love pumpkin and always enjoy trying new Autumn recipes… thanks for sharing this one!
I love pumpkin desserts too, especially this time of year!
The cake looks good…
Looks delicious! I stocked up on pumpkin the other day because last year I couldn’t find it all fall and winter. Freezing half of the cake is a good idea. It is always nice to haave a treat on hand.
I made pumpkin muffins the other day with only a cake mix and a can of pumpkin and they were surprisingly good!
Pumpkin is one of my favorite tastes, and I love it in just about anything. This looks easy and delicious. Perfect if you have folks stopping by or something.
I miss the way your blog used to be. Is there any way you could change it back? It’s confusing and hard to read now.
So looking forward to making this. Looks so moist and yummy!
