Cake mixes came on the market in 1929. During the Great Depression having a mix on the shelf when you might not be able to get all the separate ingredients at the store was an option that made life a little easier. This three ingredient cake can be made with home-canned pie fillings or store bought fillings and can be made with different combinations of cake mixes and fillings. Let your creativity and tastes guide your choices to some amazing desserts. This recipe is specifically for the Pumpkin Spice Cake.
