6 ounces Whole Milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, eggs, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix with a handheld mixer for 2 minutes.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
