This Pumpkin Bundt Cake Recipe is a variation on a pumpkin pound cake recipe, just baked in a bundt pan
with a yummy rum glaze. A simple dessert or brunch item that could be served when you have guests or for a nice ending to a family meal. The blend of spices makes for a nice pumpkin spice cake; and the rum glaze warms it up nicely. If you don't want to use real rum for the glaze you can omit it, increase the water to 1/2 cup and blend in 1/2 tsp. rum extract after the glaze is boiled. Any way you glaze it, I'm sure you will enjoy my Pumpkin Bundt Cake Recipe.
