Spice Bread Recipe With Cake Mix

This Cake Mix Pumpkin Bread comes together with just 5 ingredients – and is ready for the oven in less than 10 minutes! It doesn’t get any easier than this.

I do love baking during the holiday season, but a lot of times measuring out all of the individual ingredients is just… not going to happen. If I need to hold the baby and also make sure a pre-schooler and kindergartener “helping” aren’t going to sink the kitchen – I need REALLY easy.

And this Cake Mix Pumpkin Bread? Really easy for sure. It’s made with just 5 very basic ingredients, in a single bowl, in a snap. Even with a bunch of kids in tow, I can have it in the oven in less than 10 minutes!

Ingredient Pumpkin Bread (with Spice Cake Mix)

This is so simple: Throw all ingredients in a mixing bowl. This is what I have the kids do – it’s so simple, no need to even measure out the pumpkin, the whole can goes in.

Then, just mix until smooth. I always use a hand mixer because it’s quick and easy, but you can use a whisk if you don’t mind doing a bit of hard work.

This goes into a lined loaf pan, into the preheated oven – and one hour later, you’ll pull a real treat out of the oven!

Unfrosted, the bread keeps at room temperature well wrapped in a clean tea towel for 2 days. After this, it tends to turn dry.

If you frost the bread, you need to refrigerate it. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze the bread. Wrap the completely cooled bread well in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil. Label with the name and use-by date, then freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost, just unwrap and leave on a wire rack on the counter overnight.You don’t need a hand mixer or any fancy equipment; just two ingredients, a mixing bowl and a loaf pan to make a homemade pumpkin bread.

Pumpkin purée: you’ll need one can of pure pumpkin puree for this recipe (make sure it’s pumpkin purée NOT pumpkin pie filling.

Spice cake mix: one box of spice cake mix is crucial for this 2 ingredient recipe; the spices in this box of cake mix pair perfectly with the pumpkin puree to create the best pumpkin spice flavor.

Maple Icing: if desired I highly recomment drizzling this delicious pumpkin bread with a quick homeade icing made with simple ingredients: melted butter, maple syrup, icing sugar and a pinch of salt

Step 4: Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean (you can start checking the loaf around the 45 minute mark as some oven’s run more hot than others).

Step 6: When the loaf is completely cooled, remove from the pan. If desired, make the icing by mixing together the melted butter, maple syrup and icing sugar until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the loaf and then sprinkle over chopped pecans if desired. Slice and enjoy!

If you’re a fan of cream cheese icing, try the cream cheese frosting from my apple cake recipe – you would probably need to make only a half batch of the frosting to top this pumpkin loaf.

If you’d like to add more spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger or pumpkin pie spice, add 1/4-1/2 tsp of a spice at a time and taste the batter to make sure it’s to your liking before baking.

This is just one of the cake mix hacks we have here on our site, and it is a good one. You don’t have to use this flavor of mix if you can’t find it or want to compare others. You could use white or even gingerbread for a different duo but this one seems to be the favorite amongst everyone.

Pumpkin Spice Cake (just 2 Ingredients!)

Here we used a 9×5″ standard loaf pan to make one to slice up and serve. If you wanted to bake half the time and already be in individual servings I would follow our 2 ingredient pumpkin muffins directions for timing instead. Same recipe, slightly different temperature and takes only about 20 minutes.

This is basically how to make cake mix better. I mean it is not like we don’t like this made as is directed on the back of the box but it’s ehhhhh really. Much more moist if you add something else into the mix. You can almost make something taste homemade with very little effort since the leavening agents, flour and other ingredients are already in the bag. This one has;

I don’t know about you but the last 4 seasonings are more expensive and by the time I buy them, the next year they have gone bad. This way it’s already measured out just right, mixed together and ready to mix with my other goodies. You do NOT follow the directions on the back of the box to make this one, instead refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

All you need is a can of puree or you could make homemade pumpkin puree and use 15 ounces of that instead, and a box of mix. Beyond that you could fold in a few or one extra. For us semi-sweet chocolate chips is kinda’ a must. It does add a bit more sweetness and just makes it more yum. Other things you can add to pumpkin bread would be;

Pumpkin pie spice can amplify the flavors especially if you can’t find this and have to use yellow cake mix instead. Another idea to add moisture would be to add some raisins in there too. We do this with bran muffins and it works quite well.

You actually can find cans of puree at the store. It is in the same aisle as the cake mix near the bottom next to the pie fillings. It is just the pumpkin cooked and pureed until smooth, not pumpkin pie filling which has condensed milk and other ingredients in there.

When done run a knife along edges to make sure it is not stuck. Use potholders to lift pan and gently flip over on to other pot holder. Set gently on a cooling rack. If you leave it in the pan it will continue baking and become more dry. Let it sit for a few minutes before slicing your delicious pumpkin bread and enjoying or lathering butter on top.

You want to wait until your leftovers have completely cooled and are at room temperature first. Then wrap in foil and slide into a freezer bag.

Leave on your countertop, not the fridge, to stay as moist as possible. The exception to that is if you added fresh fruit bits inside like apples, then keep in the fridge.
