Easy Pumpkin Bundt Cake
Making a pumkpin spice bundt cake is so easy, thanks to a doctored up cake mix! You'll have a delicious fall dessert in no time!
Ingredients
- For the Cake:
- 1 boxed spice cake mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- For the Cream Cheese Icing:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 Tbs butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 Tbs milk (or more for desired consistency)
- optional: 1/2 tsp maple flavoring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan.
- Combine all ingredients for the cake in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 more minutes.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 for 33-36 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and set aside to cool. While cake is cooling, prepare icing.
- Once cake is completely cool, drizzle with cream cheese icing.
To Prepare Icing:
- In a small mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to combine cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar, mixing until it is a paste-like consistency.
- Drizzle in milk, a little bit at a time, continuing to mix until glaze is smooth. (This should result in a glaze that is thin enough to drizzle but thick enough to stay on the cake. You can use more or less milk to adjust consistency, if desired)
- Optional: Stir maple extract into the icing. Drizzle icing over cake.
