Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) 100% pure pumpkin
- 1 box spice cake mix (approximately 15 oz)
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin and boxed spice cake mix. The mixture will be very thick; continue stirring until fully combined and smooth.
- Prepare the pan: Lightly grease a nonstick loaf pan or use a nonstick pan to prevent sticking. Pour the thick batter evenly into the loaf pan.
- Bake the bread: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then carefully take the bread out of the pan, slice, and enjoy it warm with butter or your favorite spread.
Notes
- Using a nonstick loaf pan or greasing your pan well helps prevent sticking.

- This bread stores well wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- You can freeze slices for up to 3 months; thaw before serving.
