This post is from last Fall.
I thought it was worth repeating.
I just bought the ingredients to make this cake because it is time and I can't wait any longer! Isn't it funny how we don't make certain recipes until the "correct" season?
If you saw this post last year and saved the recipe, dig it out and start baking!
I am particular about anything pumpkin I make so I was a skeptic. A box cake mix? Not for this from scratch girl. After all, I had been making the same pumpkin bread for over 30 years and it is all I'd make....until I tried this!! It is more than really, really good. It is stupid good (what exactly does that mean?!?).
There's the 3 ingredients.....spice cake mix, 15 oz. can pumpkin and 1/2 bag chocolate chips. I bought the mini chocolate chips by mistake but it turns out I like them better in this cake.
Preheat the oven according to the box for the pan you will use. Mix just the powdered spice cake (without adding water, egg, oil), the whole can of pumpkin and about 1 cup chocolate chips in a mixer till all combined. Spray your pan, spread it out and bake it for about 25 minutes (according to the cake mix box). Done!
No need to frost.
The texture is cake-y but with a sweet bread consistency. It is a pumpkin cakey bread. It is so much easier and so delicious that I have retired my 30 year old pumpkin chocolate chip bread recipe (for now). So sad.

Ann Marie...simple is my favorite kind of cooking. This looks too good to be true. I am certainly going to try this. Thank you. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this looks so good. And so much easier than my "traditional" pumpkin cake. And no added oil - love that! Hope you're well and looking forward to cooler weather as I am. Karen
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this recipe. Yummy and easy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this. I am so glad I have this for the fall and it looks so easy.
ReplyDeleteWOW this looks so good Ann Marie and simple too. I did the same thing once with the mini chips for something I was baking and ended up liking them better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I will be trying this one for sure.
Have a great reat of the week. xo
Perfect for Fall Ann Marie. Really looks yummy! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

This is definitely something I want to try. I have a feeling the pumpkin and chips will bring it over the top.

Oh, yummy - yum! I love how easy it is, too! Thanks for the recipe! Hugs xo Karen
ReplyDeleteNo extra liquid added? Wow, I'm definitely going to have to try this. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. Three ingredients and you're done and I know the combination of pumpkin and choclate must be so delicious.
ReplyDeleteAnn Marie, these are wonderful! I made 2 batches to take to a fall shindig party and I have to wrap them up so I don't eat them all. Thank you so much!!

MMMH! Looks and sounds delish! I am like you, I like to cook from scratch and have nary a box cake mix in my pantry... however, upon your word, I may just try it! Have a blessed day :)
ReplyDeleteI love anything with pumpkin in it. This recipe sounds and looks so delicious. Unfortunately, here down under I don't think we have anything like a spice cake mix, though I think I will have to try and hunt one similar, down. This cake must be good if you have said goodbye to a 30 year favourite!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good and I would love to make this for the fall! Thanks for the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteWe will just love your Pumpkin Cake, it looks delicious. Thanks so much for sharing with us today at Full Plate Thursday and have a great weekend!

You had me at three ingredients! I love anything and everything pumpkin, and the chocolate chips don't hurt, either!
