What you need
-A box of spice cake (I used good old Betty Crocker)
-1 can of cream cheese frosting (also Betty brand)
-1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
-2 Eggs
-2 cups Sugar
-1 small can (14-15oz) of Pumpkin Puree/ Pumpkin Pie filling (the brand I used was called Libby's)
Baking your cake:
Step One:
-Preheat Oven to 350 F
Step Two:
-Mix in large bowl: spice cake mix, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup veg oil, 2 cups sugar, and pumpkin puree. I used a beater on medium for about 2 minutes. Mix until well blended.
Step Three:
-Grease your bundt pan and then pour batter into pan.
Step Four:
-Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. You want the cake to be moist so check your cake at 25 and every 5 minutes following.
-Let your cake cool!
Decorating your cake:
Step One:
-Empty frosting from canister into a microwaveable bowl.
Step Two:
-Microwave for 8-10 seconds or until frosting is liquified. Be careful- frosting will start to burn if it's microwaved too long! If 10 seconds is not enough, stir the frosting before continuing to microwave.
Step Three:
-Add optional food coloring- I split my frosting into two bowls and made two shades of orange.
Step Four:
-Using a spoon or spatula, drizzle the frosting around the cake. Warning: it will get everywhere so have your cake on a plate to catch the frosting!
-If the frosting begins to harden or becomes difficult to drizzle just pop it back into the microwave for 4/5 seconds!
Step Five:
-Make optional cake toppers- These are just halloween stickers & ribbon on wooden sticks!
Happy Baking!!
