Some kind soul recently posted a recipe that called for 3 or 4 over-ripe bananas, a box of yellow cake mix, 2 eggs, plus nuts or chocolate chips or whatever.  I'm going to make it tomorrow, however in light of @homedecor1 's disaster, I'm wondering if substituting a can of pumpkin puree plus appropriate spices would work?  I may try it after I finish off the bansna bread.

I've made it in the past.

1 box of Spice cake mix

15 oz can pumpkin

2 eggs

Bake at 350 for about 30 min.

Cream cheese frosting is good on it.  Or your suggestion of choc chips and nuts.

@Scooby Doo.  Aha, then it must work; I'm going to try it.  Thanks for the response.

@Kachina624 - You're welcome to add the eggs, but you actually don't even need them; you can totally just combine a 15-oz can of pumpkin puree with a boxed cake mix (try spice or devil's food cake if you're not set on the yellow) and bake it in a 9x13" pan at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Good luck with your baking adventure!

ETA: If you do the devil's food version, it just tastes like moist chocolate cake, not pumpkin.

@loriqvc.  Thanks for the hint.  I'm going to try this after I get rid of my bananas.

So I guess if you made a scratch cake and left out the liquid that should work as well. . .

@Kachina624 - Sounds good! Note that the pumpkin approach makes a fairly dense cake...

NOW I'm starving!!!!     Oh well, I've got a couple granola bars..........

@Desertdi.  Go get yourself a cake mix and a can of pumpkin tomorrow and live it up.  

It's supposed to be cold and rainy here tomorrow.  What a treat!  Worst week of weather for the whole year and we're trying to do a balloon fiesta.

@Kachina624   We had a nasty thunderstorm 3 a.m. Sunday......and on the radar, it looked like it was headed in your direction.     It's 62° here now,   (supposed to go up to 72° tomorrow)  and I just dug out some "winter" clothes from my closet......   di
