Ingredients

Servings

• 1 box Cake mix
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• ¹⁄₂ cup Vegetable oil
• ¹⁄₂ cup Water
• 2 Eggs
• 1 package Cream cheese
• 2 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Orange food coloring
• 1 teaspoon Green food coloring
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, water, and eggs. Mix well until smooth.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and smooth the top.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until well combined.
7. Divide the cream cheese frosting into two bowls. Add orange food coloring to one bowl and green food coloring to the other. Mix well.
8. Once the cake has cooled, spread the orange frosting over the top of the cake to resemble a pumpkin.
9. Use the green frosting to pipe a stem and leaf on top of the pumpkin.
10. Decorate the pumpkin cake with chocolate chips to create the face of a jack-o'-lantern.
11. Allow the frosting to set for at least 1 hour before serving.
12. Serve and enjoy!
