Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and grease two donut pans with nonstick cooking spray.
2
Whisk together the cake mix and pumpkin pie spice until combined.

Add the pumpkin puree and stir until the ingredients are well combined.
4
Transfer the batter to a gallon size bag and cut the corner off one end. Pipe the mixture into your donut pans.
5
Bake the donuts for 8 to 10 minutes, until the donut springs back when pressed with your finger.
6
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for five minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

When the donuts are cool, prepare the glaze by heating the icing in the microwave in 15 second intervals until melted. Add the pumpkin pie spice and whisk to combine.
8
Dip each donut in the glaze and return it to the wire rack to cool.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Enhance Cake Mix with Extra Spice 🎃Add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice beyond what the recipe calls for to deepen the fall flavor, since boxed mixes can taste slightly flat compared to scratch-made versions.
- Use Full-Fat Pumpkin Puree 🧡Ensure your pumpkin puree is pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, and choose full-fat varieties for richer, more authentic pumpkin flavor and better donut texture.
- Room Temperature Ingredients for Smooth Frosting 🧈Let your cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before mixing the frosting to ensure a silky, lump-free consistency that spreads beautifully on warm donuts.
- Don't Overfill Your Donut Pan 🍩Fill each donut cavity only 2/3 full to prevent overflow during baking and ensure evenly cooked, perfectly shaped donuts with no burnt edges.
- Frost While Slightly Warm for Best Coating ✨Apply cream cheese frosting to donuts that have cooled for just 5-10 minutes while still slightly warm, allowing the frosting to set into a glossy, even coating rather than clumping on cold donuts.
