Short Cut Pumpkin Cake

October is here! Time for pumpkin infused baked goods!!!

This recipe is a short cut way of making delicious pumpkin cake that tastes like it's from scratch!  Serves 8 

Ingredients:

1 box yellow cake mix, preferably organic

 + it's needed ingredients:

usually: 3 eggs and 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I have used olive oil before as well)

1 cup pumpkin puree

2 tbsp chocolate chips

1 tsp cinnamon 

1 cup cream cheese icing (I buy this pre-made).

1 tbsp butter (to line cake pan)

Preheat the oven to 375 F

Butter a baking dish or 8 inch cake pan

In a large bowl, combine cake mix ingredients according to box, omitting water

Add pumpkin puree, cinnamon and chocolate chips

Whisk together until there are no lumps (except the chocolate chips)

Pour mixture into cake pan or baking dish

Bake 45 minutes or until a knife comes out clean from the center of the cake (some pans take up to an hour)

When cooked, remove from oven and top with icing (so that it melts and forms a thin glaze) 

Eat right away!
