Easy Pumpkin Cake Recipe

Uma Boyd

Report

This easy pumpkin cake blends a boxed cake mix with canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to create a moist, flavorful dessert. The simple glaze made with confectioners sugar, apple juice, and pumpkin pie spice adds a sweet, spiced drizzle that complements the cake’s tender crumb. Baking follows the standard cake mix instructions, making this a straightforward way to enjoy pumpkin flavors in a soft, cake form.

Description

Easy Pumpkin Cake Recipe combines a butter golden cake mix with canned pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice to produce a soft, moist cake tinted with fall flavors. Incorporating pumpkin into the cake mix adds moisture and a subtle depth that pairs well with the warmly spiced glaze.

The glaze, made from confectioners sugar and apple juice with added pumpkin pie spice, is whisked to a pourable consistency and drizzled over the baked cake. This topping enhances the cake’s sweetness and adds a gentle spice note without overwhelming the pumpkin base.

The cake is baked according to the packaged instructions for the chosen mix at 350 degrees. Using a standard cake mix keeps preparation quick and consistent, while the added pumpkin and spice invite a seasonal twist. The recipe allows flexibility in using different cake mix flavors such as white, yellow, or spice.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Mix cake mix, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice until well blended.
Bake according to package directions (350 degrees). I used a Golden Butter cake mix, but you could use white or yellow or even spice cake.

While cake bakes, make glaze

Whisk together ingredients until a pourable drizzle forms. Add more powdered sugar if its too thin, more apple juice if its too thick.
Serve cake and drizzle glaze over the top.
