1boxspice cake mix (approximately 375g or 14-15oz size box)
For the maple drizzle
1tbspmelted butter
3tbspmaple syrup
1/2 cupicing sugar
pinchsalt
1/4cupchopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan and then line with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the pumpkin purée and the spice cake mix until fully combined and smooth.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean (you can start checking the loaf around the 45 minute mark as some oven's run more hot than others).
Once done, let the loaf cool completely in the loaf pan.
When the loaf is completely cooled, remove from the pan. If desired, make the icing by mixing together the melted butter, maple syrup and icing sugar until smooth. Drizzle the icing over the loaf and then sprinkle over chopped pecans if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Make sure to use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling!
What if I want to make these into muffins instead? I haven't tested it but you should be able to make 12 muffins from this 2 ingredient recipe. I would recommend baking them at 375F for 18-22 minutes.
Substitutions for pecans: chopped walnuts or almonds.
