By pamdabear3383

Ingredients

• 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) yellow cake mix
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup canned pumpkin
• 1-3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2-1/2 cups vanilla frosting
• 1-1/4 cups chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, pumpkin, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds; beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Pour into two well-greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the centers comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
Combine frosting and remaining cinnamon; spread between layers and over top and sides of cake. Press walnuts lightly into frosting on sides of cake.
