I love Fall because it's when I can get back into the kitchen & start baking! After browsing all the pumpkin recipes I decided I would try a bundt cake type. Instead of using butterscotch pudding mix I used my coveted Jell-O pumpkin spice instant pudding mix...It added just the right amount of spice to the cake...And the apple glaze gave it a natural tangy sweetness. This is a combination of several recipes found throughout the internet with my own substitution for the pudding in the mix. I hope you'll enjoy this fall treat.

  • Step 2
    mix pkg of the dry cake mix with the pkg of dry pudding mix together in large bowl & set aside.
  • Step 3
    in another large bowl lightly beat the 4 eggs with the oil, water, & pumpkin.
  • Step 4
    add the dry ingredients to the wet mixing until there are no large lumps. (be careful not to over mix)

    Carefully fill pan with batter. Bake at 350* for 45-50 min. (ovens vary so check at 45 min..insert a toothpick, if it comes out clean cake is done)
  • Step 6
    Remove to wire rack to cool. While cooling make glaze by mixing the powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp of pumpkin pie spice with the apple cider. This should be thick but pourable.
