Can I use pumpkin to make cake recipes?

Using pumpkin helps us make a guilt-free treat that the whole family will love!
Can I substitute pumpkin for eggs and oil in baking mixes?
While it may seem like a strange ingredient to use in baking, pumpkin can actually be used as a substitute for eggs and oil. This makes it an ideal option for those following weight-loss diets or trying to maintain healthy eating habits.
To replace one egg with pumpkin in your other recipes, simply mix together 1/4 cup of canned pumpkin with 1/4 cup of water.
For oil, you can use the same amount of pureed pumpkin instead. Just keep in mind that using this substitution may impact the flavor and texture of your final dish, so you may need to experiment with different amounts and types of ingredients until you find a combination that works best for your particular recipe.
Whether you are looking for a healthier alternative to traditional baked goods orsimply want to try something new, using pumpkin in your baking recipes is a great way to add a little extra flavor and nutrition.

How to make a chocolate pumpkin bundt cake:
Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Remove 3 Tbsp pumpkin puree and put to the side.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, the rest of the pumpkin puree, and the Greek yogurt.

Use a hand mixer on medium to beat ingredients until combined, about 1 minute. It will be thick.

Turn the speed up to high and beat for 30 seconds more, until it becomes a litter thinner. It will still be thick.

Scoop mixture into a Bundt pan sprayed with Pam Baking Spray (or butter/flour) and spread evenly.
Place in the middle rack of the oven for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Clean mixing beaters.
In the meantime, add powdered sugar and the reserved pumpkin puree to a medium/large mixing bowl.

Use a hand mixer to beat on low until it starts to come together.
Add water a little at a time until you get a thick consistency, upping the speed to medium as you go.

Place in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Once the cake is done, allow to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes.
Turn upside down onto a plate or cooling rack and allow to cool completely.

When you are ready to put the icing on the cake, remove from refrigerator and place in microwave at
10 second intervals until it is smooth, but still thick.

Spread onto cake.
