Pumpkin Cake

This is a recipe using only pumpkin puree and cake mix.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Small Can of Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 Boxed Cake Mix

Directions:

All you do is mix the puree and the cake mix. Don't add water. It will seam really thick; that's OK. Just spread in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. You can ice or glaze. That's it. A tasty cake without using oil, eggs, or milk.

I made these for gifts for my co-workers and they loved it.

My friend bakes this recipe also and adds in the chips. Everyone tells her to keep doing it more than she does
and no one can tell there is pumpkin in it!
