1/3 c vegetable oil
18 1/4 oz yellow cake mix
1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spices
16 oz vanilla frosting

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you avoid any scrambling or delays.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a more intense flavor than canned puree. If you don't have fresh pumpkin, you can use canned puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
