Day 78: Easy Pumpkin Spice Cake


Who knew you could make a cake in the microwave!  With the weather so cool outside, I was craving pumpkin.  We found an easy microwave recipe for pumpkin spice cake and used our new Pampered Chef stoneware.  It turned out surprisingly well!

Quick Pumpkin Spice Cake
3 eggs, lightly beaten, 1 can (15 oz) solid pack pumpkin, 1 pkg. (18.25 oz) spice cake mix, Powdered sugar (optional)

Brush Stoneware Fluted Pan with vegetable oil using Pastry Brush. In Classic 2-Qt Batter Bowl, combine eggs and pumpkin using 10" Whisk; whisk until smooth. Add cake mix; mix with Mix 'N Scraper until thoroughly blended, about 1 minute. Pour batter into pan, spreading evenly. Microwave on HIGH 14 minutes or until Cake Tester inserted near center comes out clean. (Cake will be slightly moist on top near center.) Let stand in microwave 10 minutes. If necessary, loosen cake from sides of pan using Skinny Scraper; invert onto serving plate. Let cook 5 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar using Flour/Sugar Shaker, if desired.

Yield 12 servings or 24 sample servings.
Tips: Brushing the Fluted Pan with vegetable oil is the best method to coat the interior of the pan to prevent sticking. For best results do not use the Kitchen Spritzer or a non-stick cooking spray.
If using a microwave oven without a built-in turn table, rotate pan after 7 minutes of cooking.
