FAQ

Easy Pumpkin Spice Cake Recipe – Just Three Ingredients! Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have canned pumpkin puree, you could make your own by roasting and blending pumpkin or even using a butternut squash puree.
• Rather than buying a spice cake mix, you can combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and a couple teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice. It won’t be exactly the same, but it works pretty well.
• If you’re out of eggs or want to try something different, mix 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water for each egg or use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce as a substitute.

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you dont overmix the batter cuz if you do it can end up too dense, ya know? Just stir it till everything is combined and then stop so you dont mess up the texture.

2. Grease your pan real good or even line it with parchment paper to avoid any sticky moments when you take out the cake. It really makes cleanup way easier.

3. Keep an eye on the cake in the last few minutes of baking. Everyone’s ovens are a bit different so checking a couple of minutes before the timer goes off can help yiu avoid overbaking and drying it out.

4. If you wanna add a little twist, try sprinkling a pinch more of your favorite fall spice on top before you put it in the oven. It can amp up that autumn flavor even more.
