It’s the season of pumpkin spice everything. If you’re in the mood for spiced pumpkin tea bread but you don’t want to work for it, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you. It only has two ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry: a boxed spice cake mix and two cups of canned pumpkin. Stir both together until well blended, then spoon the batter into a buttered loaf pan. Bake at 350F for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before slicing. If you don’t have spice cake mix, you can always substitute a yellow or white cake mix. Just add a teaspoon of cinnamon, half a teaspoon of nutmeg, and a quarter teaspoon each of ginger, cloves and allspice (or two teaspoons of “pie spice”). You can also add a cup of chocolate chips before baking. But then, of course, it would be more than two ingredients.
