Everywhere I look lately there are blogs spreading the news of a fantastic 2 ingredient cake. The first place I learned of this sensation was at Big Red Kitchen. It sounded too tempting to resist so I broke out the mixer and gave it a try. It couldn’t get any easier – you just mix a can of pumpkin with a box of cake mix and bake it.

You could almost be happy just nibbling the batter. It’s thick and creamy. Recliner Man is not a big batter fan so I figured I should see this through and actually bake the cake. The house smelled like heaven while it was in the oven. The end result was a tasty and moist cake that we are really enjoying. I think what really makes it special is Robin Sue’s Apple Cider Glaze. I had to substitute apple juice for the apple cider but I don’t think that made a huge difference, it was the pumpkin pie seasonings that really took this cake over the top. Now I can’t wait to try other flavor combinations with this recipe.
