Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

If you are a pumpkin lover, then you are going to love this cake.  Oh man is it delicious!  I made it for a family dinner and it didn’t last too long! But, the little amount that was left over was even better the next day, like many bundt cakes are.

The cream cheese icing really puts it over the top!  The cake by itself, without the icing, would be fabulous.  It’s so moist and rich.  And, that pumpkin spice mix just says cozy to me.  This cake will be like your favorite cozy fall blanket, in cake form.  And, that icing is like adding a cup of hot cocoa to your blanket snuggling time.  It makes the cake go from cozy and relaxing to amazing!
