LO LO CAL CHOCOLATE CAKE-DELICIOUS!!

Mmmm, thanks! I love Autumn and all of it's pumpkin recipes. I've added pumpkin to spice cake mix which was really good and a favorite of my kids. I can't wait to try the chocolate version.

If you get the big can of pumpkin (I think it's like 28oz) only use half of it per whole box of cake mix. I use the 15 oz. can of pumpkin per box of mix and it comes out more cake like. If you use the entire big can (28oz) per box of mix, it comes out way too moist and sticky, IMO. The lesser amount of pumpkin makes it more cake-like. I also add about 4 milk chocolate chips or butterscotch chips to mine (I make muffins). And to reiterate the OP's direction, you only add the pumpkin to the cake mix....no eggs, no oil, absolutely nothing else unless you want to augment the flavor. Then, bake it exactly as indicated on the cake mix box, as if you added the eggs/oil/water/whatever.

My kids eat the pumpkin/spice cake muffins for breakfast. Pumpkin is so healthy!

This sounds great! Can't wait to try!

This is the best chocolate cake I have eaten...
1 Box of chocolate cake mix dry
1 15oz. can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)...mix with a wooden spoon until all moistened.

Thats it....spray with Joy cooking spray in a 9 x 13 pan bake at 350 degrees for about 20 mins and then check with toothpick, should be moist, don't over cook, so fudgey and delicious.

Let mee know how much you love it.:explode:

Just put mine in the oven

I used a Betty crocker chocolate cake mix,
a 15 oz. can of Libbys 100% pumkin
and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.

And after mixing it, I had a bit of trouble getting it smoothed out to the corners of my 9x13 pan because of the denseness of the dough, so I'm hoping it's alright

Will come back and let you know when it's done

I am now done and it turned out delish!!! Very nice and moist cake :-9

I cut it into 15 pieces and that reads as 138 cal. when I put the ingredients into the recipe calculater.
(When I did 10 servings, as the betty crocker box suggests each serving is 207 cal.)

Yummy - thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a good idea w/the water - thanks!

BUMP!

I tried this with a spice cake mix and a full cup of water and it turned out great. The cake had a fairly normal cake texture, just a little more moist than usual. I made cupcakes and sprinkled them with pumpkin pie spice while they were still hot. Yum! I think I could have made a regular layer cake and iced it with seven minute icing, which is essentially fat free, and one would have guessed they were being served a low fat dessert.

Bumping this, I'm going to try it with other squashes like butternut and some sweet potatoes!

Sounds super yumm!!!!

Sounds yummy, will add 1/2 tsp cinnamon
