Time to Cook

Prep: 15 minutes | Cook: 50 minutes | Total: 1 hour 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, you can bake it a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking. This will help the cake come out easily and have a lovely golden color.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, pumpkin spice, and water. Mix until everything is well blended and smooth. The batter should be thick and creamy, looking delicious already.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. You want it to be even so it bakes nicely. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bundt cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This helps it set and makes it easier to remove without breaking.
Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. It should come out easily thanks to the greasing. Letting it cool will enhance the flavors.
For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled bundt cake for a sweet finish. It adds a lovely touch and a little extra sweetness.

Make It Perfect

If you want a richer flavor, try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
Make sure the cake is completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.

Mix It Up

Add a cream cheese filling for a delicious twist.
Try using different spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a unique flavor.

Perfect Partners

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Pair it with a warm cup of coffee or spiced tea.
