Ingredients
  

  • Pumpkins we used two around 5″ wide and one about 7″
  • 1 Box Spiced pumpkin cake mix
  • 1 Can Pumpkin
  • – Skewer

Instructions
 

  • Give your pumpkins a good scrub with a veggie brush. Slice off the tops wide enough so you can scoop out the insides. (Save those seeds—hello, roasted snack time!)
  • Wrap each pumpkin in foil, leaving the top open.
  • Mix the cake box dry mixture with 1 full jar pumpkin. Pour it into the hollowed pumpkins, stopping a couple inches from the top so your cake doesn’t overflow.
  • Pour the mixture into the hollowed pumpkins, stopping a couple of inches from the top so your cake doesn’t overflow.
  • Set pumpkins on a baking sheet and pop them into a 350°F oven. Bake times will vary depending on pumpkin size: about 70 minutes for the 5″ pumpkins and closer to 1 hour 50 minutes for the big guy. Start testing around an hour in with a skewer inserted deep but not poked through the skin.
