Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Whisk together the pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and oil. Beat in the eggs, then fold in the pumpkin mixture. Stir in the vanilla.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
To make cream cheese frosting: Cream together the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, mixing until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla. Spread frosting over cooled cake.

This is the recipe I use but hate to hack someones thread. No lack of flavor. Moist and delicious.

I've read a lot of reviews on the pumpkin cake recipes offered on the internet. Most, similiar to these with a can of pumpkin and little else in the way of spices. The most common complaint in the reviews is lack of pumpkin flavor. Most recommend adding varying amounts of pumpkin pie spice(s) to give it a boost.

Another good one:

1 spice cake mix, I can candied yams (29 0z) save syrup, 2 eggs, and enough syrup to make good consistency.. bake 350* for muffins 25 min. for any other use follow time on box..

I used a potato masher to mash up the yams, mix them into the dry cake mix, add 2 eggs, and about 1/4 cup of syrup, mix well, I then added raisins, nuts and cranberries to mine and made them for breakfast muffins, but you can make it into loaf cake, bundt cake or pan cake.. enjoy.

I've also made these muffins using 1 spice cake mix, whole cranberry sauce 2 cans and I used applesauce for the liquid.. very good also.

Do you follow recipe on cake box and add pumpkin or do you just mix cake mix with pumpkin?

How about topping it with this.



1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Cream cream cheese and softened butter in lg bowl until fluffy. Add vanilla, pwd sugar, and cinnamon and mix until spreadable.

Wow, sounds easy and good. Bet it would be great slightly warm from the pan with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, too!
