Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I think recipes like these are great. It takes 5 cups of this mixture with one and half cups of water, one third cup of oil and 3 eggs.
This recipe does not state how many cups of this mixture to use per Cake. A Betty Crocker Cake Mix adds 1 ½ cups of Water, 1/3 cup oil and 3 Eggs.
