Oh, this Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake is going to knock off your fall socks.  Packed full of delicious pumpkin flavor, moist and dense and topped with an unbelievably decadent cream cheese glaze.

Pumpkin Spice Cake Halloween Thanksgiving Christmas Holiday

With a new puppy in the house, I have been very busy.  With the potty training, keeping my eye on what she might be chewing, trying to remove it from her sharp little daggers, and in my spare time developing recipes for Thanksgiving I have been a wee bit frazzled.  But her sweet puppy kisses make it all worth it.  Isn’t she so cute!

Every November Jim and I throw a Thanksgiving themed Dinner Party the weekend before the actual holiday.

One of the challenges of throwing a Thanksgiving themed dinner party is giving your guests what they expect for Thanksgiving, the Turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes while coming up with a few new dishes that they will love.   I want those new dishes to be easy and quick to pull together and are uncomplicated to serve to a group.

On Thanksgiving you expect Pumpkin Pie, so to be creative I made a Pumpkin Pie Spice cake.  Incorporating the pumpkin puree with the spices that make pumpkin pie, pumpkin pie that everyone loves, but in a moist cake which is easier to serve and can be made ahead of time. No need for whipped cream because the cake is topped with the delicious cream cheese glaze.

    My mom passed away over 15 years ago. She was a great baker and I remember the delicious pumpkin bundt cake she would bake during the holidays. I am baking one for our office Thanksgiving lunch. If I can’t find her recipe, I plan on making this one. However, Mama always made it with caramel glaze. Thanks for sharing!
