This is such a simple way to prepare one the most moist and fudgy cakes I've ever tried - and with only three ingredients (including the box of mix) it is super cheap and super easy. I suppose it's almost more similar to a brownie, just because how moist it is, but it bakes as a cake! It is also much healthier than a normal cake because there is no added oil! Just two eggs and a healthy can pumpkin puree to boost the nutritional value of the cake and it really provides great tenderness. The greatest thing about this recipe, I've found, is that you can really use the can of pumpkin with any kind of cake mix and the flavor isn't overpowering. You can make it stand out by mixing it with a spice cake, or you can keep the flavor subtle by mixing it with a chocolate cake and your options don't stop there!
Yesterday I used a devil's food (chocolate) cake mix and added some chocolate chips. If you weren't told, you'd have no idea that pumpkin was even in there! The cake was soooo fudgy, so moist and absolutely addicting. I have been munching on it all day, and I haven't even put frosting on it (that just shows you how delicious it is) - I should probably hide it from myself... ;)
3 Ingredient Fudgy Boxed Cake
Ingredients:
1 boxed cake mix
1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1 heapin' cup chocolate chips or nuts (optional but of course recommended!)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease 9x13 inch pan and spoon in batter (It will be thick). Bake for 25-30 minutes.
Combination ideas:
1. Extreme Chocolate (pictured above w/out frosting)= Chocolate cake mix, chocolate chips, chocolate cream frosting
2. Pumpkin Spice = Spice cake mix, chopped pecans and/or mini chocolate chips, cream cheese frosting
If you don't have spice cake mix, use white/vanilla cake mix, 2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice (Or 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp ground cloves, 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
3. Carrot Cake = Carrot cake mix, chopped walnuts/pecans, cream cheese frosting
Try experimenting!
