Why is it so magical?
Pumpkin magic cake is made up of a creamy pumpkin puree layer, a layer of yellow cake, and a white chocolate pumpkin spice frosting topped with white chocolate shavings!! This cake is called “magic cake” because the pumpkin layer sinks to the bottom while baking. Cool, right? Best part is this Pumpkin recipe is also delicious! This easy cake recipe is one of our favorite layered pumpkin desserts, right up there with Pumpkin Lasagna and Pumpkin Delight!
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 15 minutes BAKE TIME: 1 hour
Cake
1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix PLUS ingredients on the back of the box – the ingredients are typically eggs, water, and vegetable oil. You can also use white cake mix instead of yellow. 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree – Be sure to use pumpkin puree and NOT canned pumpkin pie filling. ½ cup evaporated milk – do NOT use sweetened condensed milk ½ cup heavy whipping cream 3 whole eggs 1 cup brown sugar
Frosting
1 (3.3-ounce) box white chocolate instant pudding mix – You will need to buy INSTANT pudding. Do not make pudding as directed on the box. Use only the powder in the recipe as instructed. Instant vanilla pudding mix or cheesecake pudding mix can also be used. 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice – Pumpkin Pie Spice uses basic spices you probably already have in your cupboard – cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. 1 cup cold milk – whole milk makes creamier frosting but a lower fat milk can be used. 1 cup Cool Whip – Make homemade Whipped Cream instead of using Cool Whip. white chocolate curls – are easiest to make with slightly softened chocolate. Use a vegetable peeler to peel off beautiful curls. You can also top with white chocolate chips, cinnamon chips, or butterscotch chips.
