Do NOT make the pudding, you are only going to use the powdered mix. You can use sugar-free butterscotch instant pudding. Do NOT make the cake according to the package directions. Just use the dry cake mix and add the ingredients listed. Sometimes I stir in a cup of finely chopped pecans. Make sure to buy a can of pureed pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling for this recipe. Pumpkin spice is a combination of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Here is what I use for my homemade pumpkin spice mix: 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp allspice, and 1/4 tsp cloves. Feel free to mix up the amounts according to your personal preference. The cake will keep 3 to 4 days in an air-tight container. The cake can be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 3 months.
