Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake with Apple Cider Glaze

I am trying to clear some things out of my cupboards and the spice cake mix had to go! So did the can of pumpkin.  It sounded like a good marriage so a cake was born.

(1) Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix
(1) 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree
(3) eggs
(3) tablespoons of brown sugar
(3) good shakes of cinnamon

Mix the above ingredients well and pour into a greased bundt pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Let rest 10 minutes before flipping out onto a plate.

For the glaze, mix two packets of instant Alpine Hot Apple Cider Mix with approximately 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and enough hot water until it gets to a good pouring consistency, not to thin and not to thick.  Poke a few holes in the cake with a fork to let some of the glaze seep into the cake.

The cake is very moist and the apple cider glaze compliments the pumpkin very well. In hindsight I would have only used (1) packet of the cider mix as the glaze is very sweet. It will definitely require a little bit of playing around next time if I decide to make it again.  For what it was, a cabinet emptier, it is yummy and fun!
