I took a chance last week and experimented on guests (thanks, Joel & Amber!) by subjecting them to pumpkin cake. I was having a very busy week and didn't get a chance to fix a dessert until about an hour before they came, and I didn't have many ingredients. I did have canned pumpkin and really wanted to make a fall-ish dessert (because even if the weather won't cooperate, it's still fall).
Pumpkin Cake
Ingredients:
- 15 oz. can of pumpkin
- Cake mix (I used a yellow cake mix)
- 2 eggs
- Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
I just mixed everything up with a wooden spoon because my beaters were dirty, and baked it in a bundt pan at around 350* until a knife came out clean. I didn't keep track of the time because Joel and Amber were here then. =P
It came out really well! I think that, next time, I'll put a can of condensed milk in to make it a little more moist. Justin likes his cake practically moist enough to qualify as pudding. If I remember, I'll post to let you all know how it went.
Let me know if you try this & like it, or if you have any suggestions! =)
A new post! Yea! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe cake sounds delicious! I want to try it, but no one around here but me likes pumpkin, and I should NOT eat a whole cake myself. Not that I don't want to, though . . .
If it was apple, it sounds like it'd taste good. :P
ReplyDeleteHey, Mom, Olivia likes pumpkin. :P You could share it with her. ;)
Maybe I'll bring one up around Christmas time - then, there are three people to a cake, hooray! =)
ReplyDeleteAlso, just a thought, but it probably freezes fine. You could make one, cut it up, wrap the pieces, and freeze them for special treats. =)
