How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch rectangular baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 2 cups all-purpose flour, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup dry yellow cake mix evenly over the batter.
  8. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.
  9. Sprinkle ½ cup chopped walnuts over the top.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before serving.
