Pumpkin Pie Spice Cake
Picture
Fall is my most favorite season! The weather is nice and crisp, it's comfortable to bundle up with a fuzzy blanket, and October is the month where the world becomes the land of pumpkin spice everything! Yum!! And to celebrate the arrival of lovely fall weather I'm going to share one of my top favorite WASC cake flavors - Pumpkin Pie Spice Cake!! I hope you enjoy!!
Picture
To begin this recipe, pour 1 box of Duncan Hines Classic Yellow cake mix into a large mixing bowl.
Picture
Next, add 1 cup of all purpose flour to the bowl. I like to use unbleached all purpose flour.
Picture
Next add 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Picture
Add 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Picture
Add 2 teaspoons of McCormick brand pumpkin pie spice to the bowl.
Picture
Use a wire whisk to mix all of the dry ingredients together. Be sure to break up any clumps of cake mix. Set bowl aside.
Picture
In a separate smaller bowl, add 3 whole eggs.
Picture
Next, add 1 cup of 100% pure pureed pumpkin. I like to use Libby's canned 100% pumpkin puree. Do not use pumpkin pie filling which has spice and sugar already added.
Picture
Next, add 1 1/3 cups of water to the bowl.
Picture
Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Picture
Add 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract. I like to use McCormick brand.
Picture
Whisk all wet ingredients together until well blended.
Picture
And pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl.
Picture
Using an electric mixer, mix the ingredients on low speed for about 30 seconds, then increase speed to medium and blend for another 30 seconds to a minute, until ingredients are well blended.

For cupcakes, bake 350 degrees until done.

For cakes, bake 335 degrees F for a more level cake (or 350 F for quicker baking), until done.

After removing baked cupcakes or cake from the oven, once the cake or cupcakes have cooled to a warm temperature (just slightly warmer than lukewarm), place a piece of plastic saran wrap over them to lock in moisture.

And that's how you make this delicious fall favorite! I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial! God bless!!
