Pumpkin Bundt® Cake with Rum Glaze image

I created this spicy pumpkin Bundt® cake recipe for a contest. I didn't win, but friends and family love it with the glaze. This cake is excellent without the pecans or rum glaze, but it's a bigger hit following this recipe.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray (such as Pam®)
½ cup chopped pecans
1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow butter cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
½ cup white sugar
½ cup vegetable oil (such as Wesson®)
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick butter
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ cup rum (80 proof)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Coat the inside of a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray and sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Combine cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, sugar, oil, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and cloves in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until smooth and pour over nuts in the prepared tube pan. Tap the pan gently to release any air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, water, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow glaze to cool slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rum.
  • Remove cake from the oven and immediately turn out onto a plate. Poke small holes around the whole cake and quickly drizzle glaze over top and sides. Repeat using all of the glaze.
