Pumpkin Spice Cake
• 1 box Spice Cake Mix
• 1 12 oz. can of pumpkin
• 3 eggs
• 1 tub cream cheese frosting
• Cinnamon *optional
• Slivered almonds or chopped walnuts*optional
Preheat oven to temperature recommended on cake mix package.
Pour Spice Cake mix into large bowl. Add pumpkin and eggs and using a large MixnScraper (or sturdy spoon), mix until all of the cake mix is moistened. This will take several minutes as it takes a while to get the pumpkin to mix all the way in due to its viscosity (the batter will be very thick). **Do NOT add the water and oil your cake mix may call for**
Empty cake batter into a greased and floured pie dish (greasing not necessary if you are using seasoned stoneware)
Bake cake for amount of time recommended on cake mix box or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean
Allow cake to cool in pan
Frost with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting.
(optional) Use nuts to create a pattern on top of cake and lightly dust with ground cinnamon.
