Pumpkin Cake Batter
- 1 box yellow cake mix {13.25 ounces}
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Cinnamon Swirl Layer
- 1 cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4-6 Tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Assembly and Baking
Pour half of the cake batter into a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and spread into an even layer. Top with half of the cinnamon swirl layer. Then add the remaining cake batter and cinnamon swirl mixture, creating 4 layers. Using a skewer {or butter knife} and swirl the layers together by going back and forth through the cake {this will take a few times}.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few crumbs {but no raw cake batter}. Remove from the oven.
Cool the cake for 10-15 minutes. Then combine the powdered sugar, milk and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour the glaze over the slightly warm cake and spread out into an even layer.
- Store leftover cake either at room temperature for 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make your own teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice by combining 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/16 teaspoon of allspice.
