Notes:
I used a box of spice cake mix in this recipe. You can use any flavor of cake mix you prefer. Carrot cake or butter pecan would be nice.
Make sure to buy a can of pureed pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling for this recipe.
Here is what I use for my homemade pumpkin spice mix: 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp allspice, and 1/4 tsp cloves. Feel free to mix up the amounts according to your personal preference.
You can make this cake in advance and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
You can bake and frost the cake and freeze it for a sweet treat later. You can freeze the whole cake or cut it into individual slices.
This cake will keep 3 to 5 days in an air-tight container.
