Photo: Spiced Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Citrus Glaze Recipe
Ingredients
Cake:
- 6 eggs
- 2/3 cup oil
- 1 cup canned pumpkin pie mix
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 box moist spice cake mix
- 1 box moist yellow cake mix
Glaze:
- Yellow food coloring
- Red food coloring
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup orange juice, no pulp
- 3 teaspoons orange liqueur
Cake:
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter and flour a 12-cup bundt cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, oil, pie mix, water, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat until well blended. Add the cake mixes and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack.
Glaze:
Combine 2 parts yellow food coloring with 4 parts red food coloring to make orange food coloring. Whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, orange liqueur, and food coloring in a saucepan on low heat for 5 minutes or until the sugar melts. If the glaze seems too dry, add more water or orange juice to reach the right consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.

This is an awsome recipe, with a couple tweaks:
1 I added about 2 1/2 cups of the pumpkin pie mix and a cup of water.
2 I don't like nutmeg so rather than use pumpkin pie spice I added 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and a 1/4 tsp each of ginger and allspice. I really like the depth of flavor this combination added to the cake.
3 I don't like orange flavor with pumpkin so I went searching for a different sort of icing for the cake and found a to-die-for apple cider icing that I used instead. The cupcake I just ate told me this was a perfect combination: lots of flavor, very moist, moderately sweet and the frosting comes out a lovely pale caramel color naturally so it is very pretty on the cake.
I am really pleased with how this recipe turned out and am looking forward to sharing it with our friends at dinner tonight.
