Notes
- Use canned pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, for proper texture.
- This recipe works well with spice cake or pumpkin muffin mix around 13 to 15 ounces in size.
- Do not add eggs, oil, or other ingredients; just mix pumpkin purée with the dry cake mix.
- Feel free to add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or other mix-ins.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean to avoid overbaking.
- Store bread covered at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
