Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake

This Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake is one of the easiest cakes I’ve made in a long time.

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake - adding pumpkin puree and evaporated milk is an easy way to jazz up a plain old spice cake mix! Comes together in a flash and tastes like homemade!

Have any of you ever read Stephen King’s The Stand? In the book, nearly 99 percent of the world’s population is wiped out with the superflu.  Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’ve felt for the last week – only worse.  The good news is that I’m now back to my high school weight, so there’s that {don’t worry, it will take about 2.287436420 seconds before I gain those 5 pounds back}.

Anyway, when I finally headed back into the kitchen over the weekend, I needed recipes that were quick and easy, and um, pumpkin.  We’re still in pumpkin season, right?  ‘Cause I’m already kinda looking ahead to eggnog and peppermint, if you want to know the truth.

This recipe starts out with a spice cake mix – but with the addition of evaporated milk and pumpkin puree, the result is a wonderfully moist and perfectly flavored cake. It’s all of the flavors and textures of a homemade cake without all of the work – perfect for those days when you want something with a homemade feel, but don’t have the energy to do it whole hog. 😉

I jazzed up the cream cheese glaze by substituting Pumpkin Spice Creamer for the milk, which kicked up the flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg throughout.  In my book, you can never have too much cinnamon, pumpkin, or nutmeg.

This cake was actually part of my weekly lunch menu plan from eMeals, and I’d intended to pack slices of it in Doodle’s lunch this week. But let’s be honest: who really needed this cake  more? A 6-year old with already boundless energy, or a working mom who usually needs a sugar rush to get through the late afternoon work day?

I’ll let you ponder that for a minute while I go brush the cake crumbs off my keyboard.

    I love anything that begins with pumpkin and ends in cake. Seriously, Ashley – this bundt is beautiful! That coffee creamer is my current favorite. I wish it wasn’t seasonal!
