This cake is very easy to make and really, really delicious. Compared to most other desserts, this cake is relatively low in calories and fat.
This is a really fun way to eat angel food cake. The way the ingredients come together to form a dense pumpkin cake is pretty amazing.
I dont think the cake needs any type of frosting. However, I’ve included a simple frosting recipe below.
To start, you need an angel food cake mix, 1&1/2 cups water, 1-15 oz can of pumpkin puree and 1 tsp cinnamon (this is optional-if you aren’t a cinnamon fan, you can leave this out).
Mix 3/4 of the can of pumpkin with the water and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the cake mix and blend for 30 seconds on low and 1 minute on medium. Fold in the rest of the canned pumpkin. Pour the batter into a loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes. When it is done, take the loaf pan out of the oven and put it on its side until it is cooled. I set the loaf pan on its side on a plate.
Once cooled, put a plate on top of the pan and flip it over. I then picked the whole thing up and turned it right side up. I just prefer the way the top looks.
I don’t think the cake needs frosting. However, if you want to make it a little sweeter, you can use the cinnamon drizzle frosting recipe I’ve provided below.
