This easy-to-make cake is from a cake mix box but no one will ever know. Add in a few ingredients and you’ve got a yummy, moist pumpkin cake. Garnish with chopped or whole walnuts, if desired.
Ingredients
Frosting
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 (8 ounce) package Neufchatel cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup water
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans.
Step 2
Combine cake mix, pumpkin puree, water, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar, butter, Neufchatel cheese, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a bowl; beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Fill and frost the cooled cake.
