I love Fall because it's when I can get back into the kitchen & start baking! After browsing all the pumpkin recipes I decided I would try a bundt cake type. Instead of using butterscotch pudding mix I used my coveted Jell-O pumpkin spice instant pudding mix...It added just the right amount of spice to the cake...And the apple glaze gave it a natural tangy sweetness. This is a combination of several recipes found throughout the internet with my own substitution for the pudding in the mix. I hope you'll enjoy this fall treat.
