How to Make Pumpkin Angel Food Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, and ¼ teaspoon ground ginger.
  3. Prepare your favorite angel food cake mix according to package directions.
  4. Gently fold 1/4 of the prepared angel food cake batter into the pumpkin spice mixture until just combined.
  5. Fold the pumpkin mixture into the remaining angel food cake batter until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Carefully spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.
  7. Run a knife through the batter to release any trapped air bubbles.
  8. Bake on the lowest oven rack for 38-44 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  9. Immediately invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely, upside down, for at least 2 hours.
  10. Once completely cool, run a thin knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
  11. Carefully remove the cake from the pan.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, or your favorite fall-inspired toppings, and enjoy!
