How to make Pumpkin Spice Cake with 3 Ingredients
Like with most 3 ingredient recipes, our 3 Ingredient Pumpkin Spice Cake is real easy to make! Using boxed cake mix helps cut down a lot on the prep time and canned pumpkin makes sure you always get a nice, moist cake in the end. To make this easy pumpkin cake for yourself, here’s what you need to do:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine spice cake mix, pumpkin, and eggs. Use a hand or stand mixer to beat into a consistent cake batter. Transfer cake batter to a greased 9×13 cake pan and spread evenly.
- Move pan to an awaiting 350 degree oven and bake for around 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center of the cake pulls clean. Pull from oven, let cool completely, and top with preferred icing or frosting.
Storage / Freezing
Storage: To store your leftover Pumpkin Spice Cake, you’ll want to cover it well in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container or ziploc bag. Transfer to the fridge for best results and keep for 3-4 days.
Freezing: Frozen Pumpkin Spice Cake will keep a little while longer, if you need long-term storage. Wrap well with plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil to help prevent freezer burn before moving to the freezer. Keep for up to 2-3 months, and let thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.

Hi Kathy! I have not made this Pumpkin Cake Recipe in a bundt pan in the past. I planned to try that next week. I think it will work. If you give it a try, let me know. If not, I will report back and update the post. Have a wonderful day. – Jen
