Fall is my absolute favorite season and mostly because of pumpkin flavored and scented products. My yearly tradition: starting the fall season off by using Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin body lotion. I look forward to it every single year.
For a family Labor Day picnic this year, I decided on making a Pumpkin Spice Cake. I decided on this yummy recipe from one of my Taste of Home cookbooks.
As you can see, the recipe is made up of simple ingredients and only takes a few minutes to put together.
The cake turned out delicious! It was so moist and flavorful. A nice blend of spices and pumpkin for fall and the holidays. I will definitely make this recipe again!
Pumpkin Spice Cake With Buttercream Frosting Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 boxed spice cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Cream cheese frosting or whipped cream
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, eggs, pumpkin, water, oil, pudding mix and cinnamon. Beat at medium speed for 5 minutes. Stir in pecans.
- Pour into a greased and floured 10 inch bundt pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost cake or serve with whipped cream.
Instead of using a cream cheese frosting, I decided on a simple Buttercream Frosting.
