Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
- Powdered sugar for sprinkling
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt or tube pan, ensuring the cake won’t stick.
-
Combine Pumpkin and Cinnamon: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and cinnamon. Mix well until the cinnamon is evenly distributed throughout the pumpkin.
-
Prepare Cake Batter: In a separate large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, sour cream, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and water. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth and well-combined.
-
Incorporate Pumpkin Mixture: Add 2 1/2 cups of the prepared cake batter into the bowl with the pumpkin mixture. Gently fold the batter until the pumpkin mixture is evenly distributed throughout.
-
Create Marbled Effect: Pour alternate spoonfuls of the plain and pumpkin batters into the prepared bundt or tube pan. Once all the batter is in the pan, use a knife or skewer to swirl the two batters together, creating a marbled effect.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a delightful finishing touch.
