Happy September ya’ll!
You know what that means, right?
Pumpkin EVERYTHING!
Let’s get into it.
By now, I am sure you have seen the viral trend of the 2 ingredient pumpkin loaf. If not, let me tell you that people went nuts for it last year and all of the cake mix was sold out within days. It caused such a craze that people paid triple the price online just to get their hands on a box of Spice Cake Mix.
But now I know why!
I just had to wait a year later to try it 🙂 and make it even better.
I used that trend to experiment and see if I can turn it into one of my FAVORITE fall treats of all times: Starbuck Pumpkin Loaf. AND I DID IT! The best part is it cost me less than $5 to make. #momwin
INGREDIENTS:
1 can pumpkin puree
1 box of Betty Crocker spice cake mix
2 eggs
OPTIONAL (but highly recommended): 1 cup of chocolate chips
pecans, pumpkin seeds for topping
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Add your cake mix and pumpkin puree.
- Mix to combine.
- Optional but highly recommended, fold in your chocolate chips.
- Spray a loaf pan with a smidge of baking oil and line with parchment paper.
- Pour the mixture into the pan.
- Optional: top with chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds or just a little bit of sugar works well too.
- Bake for 45 minutes and check with a wooden skewer, in the middle, to make sure it comes out clean. If it does not, bake another 5-10 minutes. You want that skewer to come out clean.
- Let it cool, on a wire rack, for an hour. But if you are impatient like me, at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. TIP: it’s even better the next day.
- Enjoy.
Why is my recipe better than the original 2 ingredient pumpkin loaf?
Because of the eggs. They make a huge difference. The 2 ingredient recipe is too dense. It’s not soft and decadent and I don’t like that. But you are free to try it yourself and tell me which recipe you like better.
Until next time, make an extra loaf and surprise a friend.
