I got this tip from a nice lady in the grocery store. We bonded by the sugar free cake mix LOL. I made this today and not only was it super easy, it was DELICIOUS and I didn't have to feel guilty about it at all!

1 Duncan Hinze Spice Cake Mix (Mix Only)
1 15 oz can 100% pure pumpkin
1 c. water

Mix cake mix and pumpkin together, add water and mix for 1 minute. No other ingredients. I baked it for 45 mins at 375 in two small loaf pans, six servings per loaf. As it cools, it will set up more. My husband got antsy and cut it right out of the oven and it was still a little gooey from the pumpkin. I calculated the recipe and it is only 180 cal. for a thick slice. It was amazing!! Only problem, will there be any left for me tomorrow?....my husband is going to eat the whole thing!

    Sounds delicious! Thanks for the idea. I've been wanting to bake something that will make my house smell like fall, but that I can actually enjoy without feeling guilty. :)

    oooh i didnt think of that! my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are similar. instead of water use chocolate chips and drop tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet.

    My mom does this to make muffins and they're amazing (she makes them for me during finals week when I'm up late studying and writing papers :) )

    I have made this twice (without the water). I did it once as a 9x13 cake and drizzled it with a vanilla & cinnamon icing mix. There was not any left with 8 people trying it out. The next time I fixed it was in 3 small loaf pans to take camping. They lasted all of 1 morning with 7 of us in the camper.
    I used 1 box spice cake mix + 1 can pumpkin: Baked at 350 for 40 minutes.
    The icing was 1 cup confectioners sugar + 1 tbs milk + 1/8 tsp of cinnamon.

    Wow! I'm seeing now I could have left the water out totally. Next time im going to do that, and I am soooo going to make your icing and maybe just drizzle it on there. Thanks for letting me know that!

    I made these today (as cupcakes/muffins) to take to a Christmas party. They gave out excellent. I used:

    1 Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix
    1 15 oz can 100% pure pumpkin
    1/2 c. water
    3 tablespoons liquid egg white
    1/2 c. chopped walnuts

    Came out great! Made exactly 24 "cupcakes" and came to about 107 calories per cupcake. Would have been less without the walnuts, but I really love the addition of some walnuts. I will also be serving with fat free cool whip on the side in case people would like a "frosting" of sorts.

    I've been doing this for years and could very well have been the lady at the stre cause i tell people about it all the time! try not adding water and putting them in muffin tins; so delish but my sweetheart eats them as fast as I can make them too.any leftover disappers between the time we go to bed and the time we wake up often with crumbs on his side of the bed lol

    This is our family favorite as well. I do not use water. For topping I use sugarfree caramel dip. I spread very thin layer of the dip while the cake is still warm and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

    I came up with a recipe a few weeks ago and it was delicious...

    1 box of chocolate cake mix
    1 individual serving of apple sauce
    1 egg
    1 can of pumpkin

    Mix all together and bake as directed by the box. It was amazing tasting and really moist...
