Ingredients

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) box gingerbread mix (just the dry mix)* I used Pillsbury brand Gingerbread Cake and Cookie Mix
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin not the sweetened pumpkin pie filling
  • Optional: powdered sugar or whipped cream for topping

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine dry gingerbread mix and pumpkin with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1-2 minutes, or until a thick, fluffy batter forms.
  3. Spread batter in a round cake pan or in an 8-inch square baking pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool cake on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Dust with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream, if desired, once completely cool.

Notes

  • This Pumpkin Gingerbread freezes well! Bake a pan, cool completely, and then wrap tightly and freeze. You can freeze individual slices, too! Then just reheat in the microwave or allow to thaw on the counter before serving.
  • Make sure that you use plain, unsweetened, canned pumpkin puree (NOT canned pumpkin pie filling).
  • Do NOT use any of the additional ingredients called for on the box of cake mix. You only need the dry mix!
  • Allow the cake to cool entirely before dusting with powdered sugar or topping with whipped cream or ice cream.
