Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your baking pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, oil, and eggs. I find it helps to mix these on low for a bit before cranking up the speed to prevent a flour cloud! Once everything is well combined, it should be thick and aromatic. Pour this mixture into your greased pan and smooth it out with a spatula. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
