  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Some add-in ideas are chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) or dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins) in addition to, or instead of, the white chocolate chips.
  • Boost the spice flavor by adding a pinch of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the batter.
  • For a richer cake, swirl softened cream cheese into the batter before baking. This creates a creamy layer that pairs well with the pumpkin and spice flavors.

Additional Serving Suggestions:

  • Top the cake with a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and a splash of milk, or even just coat it with a dusting of powdered sugar.
  • This cake pairs perfectly with a warm cup of coffee, spiced tea, or even a glass of milk for a cozy treat.

Make Your Own Spice Cake Mix:

Combine the following ingredients in a bowl, and then use the mixture in place of the 13.25 ounce box of store-bought spice cake mix.
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
