Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake with Spiced Caramel Icing

This week’s #SundaySupper is all about the delicious flavors of Fall. When I think of fall recipes I think of pumpkin recipes made with pumpkin spice. The Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake with Spiced Caramel Icing is a perfect fall flavor recipe to help you celebrate the turning of the leaves and cooler temperatures of the fall season.

I found this Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake with Spiced Caramel Icing recipe in one of my vintage cookbooks. It is one of those cake recipes that start with a cake mix and includes a box of pudding mix. This is the first time I made a cake recipe this way.

After taking a peek on Google for similar recipes, I am going to take a guess that this bundt cake recipe originally came from one of the cake mix companies. The same recipe can be found all over the internet. I did make a slight change to the recipe though.

The original recipe called for a box of Spiced Cake mix. I accidently picked up a box of Butter Pecan cake mix. Instead of running out to the store to buy the Spiced Cake mix I went ahead and used the Butter Pecan Cake mix.

It tastes so good I am glad I was being lazy that day. The cake is moist and tender. Each bite is packed full of pumpkin, spice and pecan flavor. The Spiced Caramel Icing is just the right amount of sweet to go with the cake flavors.

How to make Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake with Spiced Caramel Icing

Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake Ingredients

1 package butter pecan cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 package 3 oz vanilla pudding ( cook style)
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Pumpkin Pecan Bundt Cake Directions

Combine all the ingredients except the pecans in a large bowl.
Beat about 30 seconds to moisten.
Beat 3 minutes on high.
Fold pecan pieces into batter.
Pour into a buttered and floured Bundt pan.
Bake 35-40 minutes on 350 degrees or until tooth pick inserted into center comes out clean.

Spiced Caramel Icing Ingredients

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
1/2 cup pecan pieces

Spice Caramel Icing Directions

Sift the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon together.
In a medium sauce pan bring the butter and brown sugar to a boil for one minute or until slightly thickened.
Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Slowly drizzle the milk in and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Slowly add the powdered sugar one cup at a time mixing with the spoon between each addition until mixture is lump free.
Fold in the pecan pieces.
Pour over top of the cooled Pumpkin Pecan Bundt cake.
If the mixture starts to harden before you glaze the Pumpkin Pecan Bundt cake return the pot to the burner and heat on low. Adding 1 tablespoon of milk until you get a thin enough consistency to pour.
