Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 ounce package Betty Crocker Super Moist Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 15 ounce can 100% pure pumpkin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Caramel Frosting Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 to 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Pour the pumpkin mix into a large mixing bowl and add the spices. Stir with a spoon to mix well. Add yellow cake mix and stir until all ingredients are wet. Spray a donut pan with cooking spray (dont skip this step) . My pan makes 12 medium sized donuts.
- Spoon the mixture into the donut pan or could use a piping bag. I just used a spoon. I filled each cup almost full. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for about 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool in donut pan for 10 minutes before removing. This made 18 donuts for me. Add frosting.
Caramel Frosting Instructions:
- Combine brown sugar, butter and milk in a saucepan on top of the stove until melted and starts to boil. Remove and add vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Stir well. Drizzle or pour over cooled donuts.
Notes
If frosting gets too thick just add more milk. If too thin add more powdered sugar.
