How much pureed pumpkin do you substitue in cake mixes?

Here's how to do it:

1. Check the box instructions: Some cake mixes specifically call for pumpkin. If so, follow those directions.

2. Adjust the liquid: Reduce the amount of liquid called for in the recipe by 1/2 cup. This usually means using 1/2 cup less water, milk, or oil.

3. Add the pumpkin: Stir the pumpkin puree into the batter along with the other wet ingredients.

4. Add spices: For a more pronounced pumpkin flavor, add 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to the batter.

Important Notes:

* Use canned pumpkin puree: Make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

* Adjust spices: If you're using a spice cake mix, you might want to reduce the amount of spices called for in the recipe to avoid an overly spiced cake.

* Experiment: Pumpkin cake can be a little dense. You may want to adjust the baking time slightly, adding a few minutes if needed.

Have fun experimenting and creating delicious pumpkin cakes!
