Here's What You Need To Make 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Cake

• fresh or canned pumpkin puree
• ground cinnamon
• eggs
• spice cake mix or package yellow cake mix

Tool You May Need:

• Loaf Pans
• 13 x 9 Sheet Cake Pan
• Muffin Tins
• Bundt Pan
• Measuring Cups
• Measuring Spoons
• Mixing Bowl
• Mixing Spoons
• Parchment Paper

Tips and Suggestions:

• Make a coffee cake filling version below that's a fabulous version see it in the recipe card
• Add 1 cup of any Chocolate chips, White chocolate chips (as shown in the cupcake photo), or Peanut butter chips to this batter
• Add 1 cup of Raisins or Craisins
• Any kinds of nuts, pecans are a nice addition around 3/4 cup
• Leave the cake plain or cream cheese frosted
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar
• Top muffins and loaves with cinnamon sugar before baking
• These freeze well
• Make sure you grease any pans you use heavily
• Keep unused cake in the refrigerator
• Use freshly made sugar pie pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin, not pie filling
• You can use cinnamon or allspice as an addition to using a yellow cake mix (I still use the cinnamon in the spice cake version, but it's a taste preference.

Pumpkin Rum Cake!

Surely you have heard of Bacardi rum cake before?


Well, if not I got this idea from a cruise we took some years ago when they served pumpkin cake with Bacardi rum poured over the top.


Of course, I had to recreate it as I love to copycat a recipe that I love from anywhere we go!


This was as simple as can be making this simple syrup, poking a few holes in my bundt cake and viola, pumpkin rum cake!


It was the biggest hit that year at our Halloween party!

The Batter:

The batter is fragrant and wonderful for any vessel you choose to bake it in.


I love spice and I actually do add another teaspoon of cinnamon to this batter.


The spice cake is perfect for this cake but I love the addition of cinnamon for a stronger flavor.


If you're not a lover of cinnamon, you can omit that ingredient when using the spice cake.


I do recommend that you use more cinnamon if using a yellow cake mix.
