This is a nice moist cake good any time of the year but particularly nice for the holidays.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is such a simple fall Bundt cake. It makes us want cooler weather. Starting with a cake mix makes it a cinch to throw together - perfect for the beginner baker. The fall spices and sweetness are perfectly balanced. The cake is dense but tender and moist at the same time. Powdered sugar adds just a touch of sweetness but we added the optional whipped cream which makes it the perfect slice. We think even if you're not a fan of pumpkin anything, you'll love this Bundt cake.
