How Do You Make Pumpkin Cake?

Well… it’s actually really easy!  You’ll just need the following ingredients:

• Spice Cake Mix
• Pumpkin Pie Spice {it’s so easy to make your own!}
• Pure Pumpkin
• Applesauce
• Eggs

Then you’ll just mix all of the ingredients together, bake, and top with this easy Cream Cheese Frosting!

Does Applesauce Make Cake Moist?

Yep… it sure does!  Nobody wants a dry and crumbly cake, right?  Well, the secret to the perfect moisture in this cake is the applesauce!  Thanks to its water content, not only will the applesauce save you some calories and fat when swapped out for the oil, but it will also keep the moisture level up on your finished cake!

Should Pumpkin Cake Be Refrigerated?

After your baked cake has cooled, you won’t need to refrigerate until you frost it.  Once you frost it with cream cheese frosting, then you’ll want to refrigerate any leftovers.
