How to Make Fall Time Pumpkin Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a standard 10-inch bundt pan, a 9x13 inch baking pan, or two 9-inch round cake pans.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup water, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 3 large eggs.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ¼ cup butter, ½ cup heavy whipping cream, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
  9. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  10. Let the glaze cool slightly before drizzling it over the completely cooled cake.
