Healthy Pumpkin Angel Food Cake

This Pumpkin Angel Food Cake is light, airy, and absolutely delicious, a perfect fall dessert that won’t weigh you down. Even better? It’s Weight Watchers friendly! With only a few simple ingredients, like a can of pumpkin puree and a box of angel food cake mix, you can whip up this cozy seasonal treat in no time. I love desserts, but anything sweet is my weakness, so I’m always looking for healthier ways to enjoy the flavors I love, and this cake fits the bill perfectly. Twelve servings of fluffy, pumpkin-spiced bliss…need I say more?

I ran into the other day and grabbed my can of Pumpkin Puree and box of Angel Food Cake and I was ready to get home and bake.  As you can see, this angel food cake recipe only needs a few simple ingredients, in fact, you may have them in your pantry right now!

I’ve always been a fan of Angel Food cake—there’s just something about its light, airy texture that makes it feel like a little cloud of sweetness! When fall rolls around, and pumpkin everything is in full swing, this recipe is my go-to for bringing those cozy seasonal flavors into a dessert that doesn’t weigh you down.

Not only does this fall angel food cake recipe call for just a few ingredients, it is super easy to make!  To get started, you just put everything in your favorite mixer.

Once it’s mixed, pour the pumpkin angel food cake batter into an angel food pan, bundt pan, or cake pan.  Then bake it!  It doesn’t get much easier than that.

I have actually used made mini bundt cakes, and they ended up looking like cute pumpkins! You can see the how-to make little pumpkin angel food cakes here.

Make sure to bake it for the full time, you want the top to be a golden brown.  If you under-cook it, it will fall when you take it out to cool.

I used Libby’s Pure Pumpkin in this recipe because it’s a brand that I know and trust, but if you have the store brand of pure pumpkin, I’m sure that will work too.  Just be sure that you watch the measurements, this recipe does not call for a whole can of pumpkin, just 1 CUP.

If you can find the Sugar Free Angel Food Cake mix, that will save you some on your WW Points if you are watching those.

And you simply can’t bake with pumpkin without Pumpkin Spice.  Seriously, what is fall without Pumpkin Spice?! BUT, in case you wanna do some experimenting….

Try different spices

Want to kick up the fall flavor even more? Experiment with adding a dash of nutmeg, cloves, or even ginger. These spices pair beautifully with pumpkin and will make your cake even more irresistible.

For my mixer, I have had a KitchenAid mixer for years.  And I love it.  It cleans easily, it always works great, in my opinion, it’s worth the money because it is the best.

Serving Suggestions

Dollop of whipped topping, sprinkle of cinnamon, or a few toasted pecans

Storage tips

This cake stores well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. If you want it to last longer, pop it in the fridge. Just make sure to wrap it well to keep it moist. I doubt you’ll have leftovers…but just in case 😉
