Harvest Time Pumpkin Cake

I rediscovered this recipe - obviously not made for decades!

1 pkg yellow cake mix
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
2 tsp baking soda
1 can (16-oz) pumpkin
2 eggs
1/4 water
1 pkg (8 oz semi-sweet chocolate morsels)
1 cup chopped nuts



Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a BUNDT pan. In a large bowl combine cake mix, spice and baking soda. Add eggs, pumpkin and water. Beat 3 min. on med. speed of mixer or until batter is smooth. Fold in morsels and nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 min or until cake test done. Cool for 15 min. in pan. Turn out and continue cooling on wire rack. Top with spice glaze and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Spice glaze:
1 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
1 T milk
1 T. light corn syrup
1 tsp. spice of your choice

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and beat until smooth. Use rubber spatula or a large spoon and put glaze on top of cooled cake. Then use a table knife to spread around top of cake wedges. The glaze will then run down the sides slowly and beautifully.
