Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and grease a 2 pound loaf cake baking pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well-combined.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
4. Dip or grease well a 3" wide metal spatula or a similar tool and insert it into the center of the pound cake before baking. This will help the pound cake to rise evenly and give a nice crack in the center while it's baking.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
6. Allow the pound cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts, streusel, or any other toppings you like to customize your pound cake even more. Enjoy!
