What you’ll need
A box of spice cake mix
vegetable oil and
eggs
Your kitchen will smell like pumpkin spice and your kids (like mine will be asking…is it done yet?)
Now normally, I usually take the LONG way around and make my cakes from scratch. However, every now and then ~ I CHEAT (gasp)!!! Yes, in my weak moments, if there is something that is going to get me to cheat…it’s CAKE. I’m a busy mom often short on time and I’m sure this recipe using cake mix will appeal to many people. And that is why I’m sharing it with you today.
I’m thankful for pumpkin spice

I just happened to have this Betty Crocker Supermoist Spice Cake Mix in the cupboard and went full tilt forward. I don’t think it matters so much what brand you use. If you prefer Duncan Hines…by all means, use that. The “cake mix” pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting was devoured quickly. I’m sure the family will be asking for this cake again soon. It was perfect with a nice cup of tea. It also makes a great dessert to bring to a potluck or party. In fact, I recently bought this new Wilton Perfect Results 13×9 Covered Cake Pan and it came with a handy top for transporting or storing the cake in the fridge. Can’t get an easier than that!
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think. You’ll find the recipe card below if you’d like to print the recipe.
Happy cooking,
