Steph2003's Guilt Free Pumpkin Cake

Submitted by: STEPH2003

Introduction

This turned out so well, and everyone that tried it wanted to recipe. It's just as good as full fat pumpkin pie, if not better! Perfect for the holidays or any time of year.

Ingredients

    1 box Duncan Hines Carrot Cake or Spice Cake Mix
    1 (15oz) can 100% pure pumpkin
    1 box jello sugar free, fat free vanilla pudding
    1.5 cups skim milk
    1 8oz tub Cool Whip Free
    Water as desired

    Optional: Sprinkling chopped nuts over the top adds a nice flavor, but it's not in the nutritional info.

Directions

Spray 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.


Mix cake mix and pumpkin until smooth (this takes some time and is a good workout for your arm!) you can also add water to make it less dense/thick, but it's not required. Bake cake according to package directions. It's usually 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.


Once cake is cooled take the handle end of a butter knife or wooden spoon and poke holes in the cake. Mix the jello pudding and milk then spread over the top of the cake and into the holes.
Spread Cool Whip over the top, and put in the fridge or eat. It gets better the older it gets, and freezes well.


Tip: I always transfer the cool whip into a larger bowl and stir it just a little to make it easier to spread over the cake. It looks a little prettier that way too.

  • I served this cake, with no changes to the recipe, to my Bible Study group and everyone of them asked for the recipe. I loved it as well but want to add a little water or applesauce with no sugar to the batter to make it a little less thick. - 11/13/08

  • Absolutely delicious and so easy! I used reduced-sugar yellow cake mix and added pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon, as someone else suggested. I also used pre-made vanilla pudding for convenience. SO GOOD. - 10/26/08

  • I make something similar to this. Using the Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Yellow Cake cuts calories and sugar, just add cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice!! - 10/24/08
