A buttery rum glaze keeps this cake fabulously moist for days.

How To Serve Pumpkin Cake with Rum Glaze

This cake tastes best served at room temperature or slightly warm. For even more flavor top it with whipped cream and crushed Heath Bars or toffee bits.

Start With A Box Of Cake Mix

I love doctored cake mix recipes. They are virtually foolproof and you don’t have to worry about mismeasuring the flour. You’ll start with a box of yellow cake mix. To the cake mix, you’ll add nuts, a can of pumpkin, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, water, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.

Equipment Needed

Cool Cake In Pan Before Removing

Cool the cake in the bundt pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cake stand or plate. If you don’t wait 10 minutes, the cake may fall apart. Let it cool too much in the pan, and it may stick.

Recipe Tips

I use Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker Cake Mix.

Be sure to use plain canned pumpkin and NOT pumpkin pie filling.

I like the addition of 1/2 cup of pecans or walnuts, but they can be left out if you want a nut-free cake.

Storage

This cake actually tastes better a day or two after it is made. Will keep at room temperature for 4 to 5 days or it can be frozen for up to 2 months.
