How to Make 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Cake

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter and flour to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the spice cake mix, pumpkin puree, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer or by hand until well combined and smooth.

Step 3: Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool and Serve

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before serving. You can enjoy it plain or frost it with your favorite frosting, such as cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Use room temperature eggs: Room temperature eggs will blend more easily into the batter.
Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough cake. Mix until just combined.
Cool the cake completely: Frosting a warm cake will cause the frosting to melt. Make sure the cake is completely cool before frosting.
