Notes

  • It is made with yellow cake mix, which I think works really well. You could also use spice cake mix, too.
  • The cake is topped with crunchy walnuts which gives it a great texture. If you don’t like walnuts feel free to substitute chopped pecans instead.
  • Be sure to use canned pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. They aren’t the same thing, so double check the label!
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This is really good when you serve the cake warm because the ice cream melts over the top – yum!
  • Keep it really easy and add a scoop of Cool Whip on each serving. Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice over the top!
  • There’s nothing better than a dollop of homemade whipped cream!
  • Add a drizzle of caramel sauce to make it extra special!
