Description

This Sweet Crockpot Pumpkin Spice Cake combines the rich warmth of pumpkin puree with the aromatic flavors of spice cake mix, all slow-cooked to moist perfection in a crockpot. Easy to prepare and perfect for cozy fall gatherings, this cake features a unique layered texture with a creamy pumpkin base and a spiced cake top, making it a delightful seasonal dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 box (15 oz) spice cake mix
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 can (12 oz) sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pumpkin mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk. Mix until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a creamy base for the cake.
  2. Layer the ingredients: Sprinkle the spice cake mix evenly over the bottom of the crockpot. Gently pour the pumpkin mixture on top of the cake mix, spreading it out evenly without stirring to maintain the layered texture.
  3. Initial high heat cooking: Set the crockpot to high and cook the layered ingredients for 1 hour. This activates the cake mix and starts to set the pumpkin mixture.
  4. Slow cooking: After an hour, switch the crockpot to low and cook for another hour to gently set the cake without burning.
  5. Mix and finalize baking: After two hours total, thoroughly stir the cake and pumpkin layers together in the crockpot. Cover and continue cooking on low for 1 to 2 more hours or until the cake is set. If the cake is still too gooey, continue cooking in 30-minute increments until desired consistency is reached.

Notes

  • Do not stir the layers before the first two hours to maintain the unique texture.
  • Check the cake’s texture gently with a spoon before deciding to cook longer.
  • You can serve this cake warm or cooled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a dusting of cinnamon.
  • Using pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, is essential for controlling sweetness and texture.
  • If you don’t have a crockpot, a similar layered cake can be baked in the oven, but the texture may vary.
