Ingredients

Like with all of my easy 3 Ingredient Dump Cakes, it takes just 3 simple ingredients to make this easy pumpkin angel food cake recipe!

First check your cupboards, pantry, and fridge, than add the following to your next grocery list to make sure you’ve got everything on hand…

  • Angel Food Cake Mix – you’ll want the ‘just add water’ variety of cake mix.
  • Pure Pumpkin Puree – be sure to use 100% pure pumpkin like I use in my other Pumpkin Dump Cake Recipe, NOT pumpkin pie filling.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice – store bought or use my homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe!

You’ll also need a 9×13 baking dish to prepare your angel food pumpkin dump cake.

    This is just delightful and so seasonal. Your cake looks so pretty and delicious. In Australia I make my own Pumpkin Spice, it is not usually seen in supermarkets. I will be cooking your cake, thank you 😀

    1. Heidi says:

      You’re very welcome, Merryn! I love that you make your own pumpkin spice, too… that can save so much money as well. Enjoy your cake! 🙂

    Oh such a great idea!! Never tried a pumpkin cake before (it is not such a big theme in germany as it is in the states) but I just watched a full food video, where a couple only ate pumpkin spiced food all day long and that really makes me want to try some as well 🙂

    have a great weekend

    I bet this tastes amazing! Very apt for the cosy nights coming in too. Love how it only has a few ingredients. I will have to see if they sell pumpkin in a tin here in the UK and have a go at this!

      Thanks, Aimsy! It really is the perfect treat for chilly Fall nights. I hope you’re able to fine some canned pumpkin! If not, you could always substitute homemade pumpkin puree. Have a lovely day!

    YUM! This sounds delicious! To be honest, you had me sold when you mentioned how it makes the whole home smell like Fall when baking. Not much could beat that in my book! I could feel the warmth right through the screen. 🙂
