Tips:
- Choose the right cake mix. For a moist and flavorful cake, use a chocolate or spice cake mix. For a lighter cake, use a white or vanilla cake mix.
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is unsweetened and has a more natural flavor than pumpkin pie filling.
- Add spices to the cake batter. Pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that complement the flavor of pumpkin.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Decorate the cake as desired. Pumpkin cake can be decorated with cream cheese frosting, whipped cream, or even a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
