We sometimes call this pumpkin spice cake “Thanksgiving Cake” because it’s a tasty alternative to pie, but we don’t relegate it to just that holiday.

This is a delicious cake, brimming with warm and spicy autumn flavours. Instead of adding water as directed, I subbed with cinnamon whisky instead...what a flavour boost that was! I served it with peeled and chopped Granny Smith apples that I saut\u00e9ed in butter until tender-crisp. Then I added them to a pot of freshly made caramel sauce to heat through. Ladled a generous amount over individual slices. My guests were literally moaning with every bite, and their comments were very complimentary. Have made this cake before with cream cheese icing which was very good too, but the caramel apples truly took the cake...to a yummy new level! <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-11-11","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Lori6066"},"reviewBody":"
This has been a family favorite for several years. I\u2019m concerned that it says to use a regular size cake mix. All that is available here now is the 13.5 ounce mixes. I\u2019m sure when I started making this it was a larger box. Can you tell me what the recommended weight of the box should be? I can add in extra mix buy buying 2 boxes but I need to know what the weight should be. This cake is a 5+ stars and I want to make it this year but don\u2019t want to waste ingredients and have it not turn out.
