Ingredients

 

• 16 ounces angel food cake mix
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 3/4 cup solid-pack pumpkin
• 1 cup cold water
• 12 ounces whipped topping
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice or add more to your liking
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Move the oven rack to the lowest rack.
• In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat the cake mix, flour, pumpkin, spice and water on low speed 30 seconds. Then beat it on medium speed 1 minute. Pour the batter into an ungreased 10-inch angel food cake pan.
• Bake 37 to 47 minutes or until crust is dark golden brown and cracks are dry. Remove the cake from the oven and immediately turn the pan upside down onto a glass bottle or support it with glass cups. Let it sit upside down for about 2 hours or until cake is completely cool. Using a knife, loosen the cake from the sides of the pan and invert the cake to a serving plate. Use a long serrated knife to cut the cake in half horizontally to make two layers.
• For the frosting, fold together the Cool Whip, pumpkin pie spice and powdered sugar in a bowl. Spread half of the frosting on top of one of the cake layers. Then place the other cake layer on top. Top the cake with the remaining frosting.
• Store in the refrigerator.
