Last weekend, we attended a Halloween party with some friends, and to my surprise, it turned out to be a potluck event. With only a short notice, I didn’t want to just grab something from the store, so I decided to raid our pantry for inspiration. To my delight, I found a can of pumpkin and a box of spice cake mix. It was the perfect opportunity to try something new.
I gathered my little helpers, and we got to work. We were both excited about making this cake, and they even helped stir the batter. The kitchen smelled amazing as the scent of pumpkin and spices filled the air. However, since we had just moved, our new oven wasn’t exactly cooperating. The first attempt resulted in a less-than-perfect cake that crumbled when we flipped it out of the pan. Although it tasted great, it wasn’t quite presentable for the party.
The next day, I tried again, this time equipped with an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperatures. Success! This time, the cake turned out beautifully, with a perfect balance of sweetness and spice that perfectly captured the essence of fall.
If you’re looking for a simple yet impressive dessert for your own Halloween bash, give this recipe a try. It’s quick, easy, and requires only five ingredients!
**5 Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Cake with Apple Cider Glaze**
(Makes one bundt cake)
**//Ingredients:**
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons apple cider
- A pinch of pumpkin pie spice
**//Instructions:**
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the pumpkin puree and spice cake mix. Do not follow the instructions on the cake mix box—just mix them directly. Grease your bundt pan generously and pour the cake mixture into it. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by mixing the apple cider, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl until smooth. If you don’t have apple cider, you can substitute with milk or heavy cream—it won’t be the same, but it’ll still taste great.
Once the cake has cooled completely, invert it onto a serving plate by flipping the pan over while holding it steady. Pour the glaze over the top of the cake and spread it evenly. Slice and serve.
This cake is a delightful treat for any occasion, especially during the spooky season. Enjoy it with your family and friends, and let the flavors of fall transport you to cozy autumn nights.
Happy baking, and happy Halloween!
