So is it any surprise that I had to make Mix and Match Mama's bundt cake version?

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake
Ingredients
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/4 cup water
4 eggs
1 cup pumpkin
1 box spice cake mix
2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding
4 cups powdered sugar
1 stick butter, softened
3-4 splashes milk
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 tablespoon nutmeg

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together oil, water, eggs, and pumpkin.
2. Add in cake mix and puddings, and combine until just mixed.
3. Add into a prepped bundt pan. Bake 40-45 minutes a toothpick comes out clean.
4. Let cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto your serving platter to finish cooling.
5. While cooling, mix together your sugar, butter, and milk. Once "frosting-like," incorporate in cinnamon and nutmeg until mixed through.
6. Once cooled, frost onto cake. (It will be thick and feel almost impossible to get perfect, but you can't deny that the frosting looks pretty awesome in the photos.)
I think this cake had an awesome flavor, but if there's any complaint it's that it's almost too moist. At times it felt a little bit more like pumpkin pie than an actual bundt cake. But I think the quicker you eat it after it's finished the less of an issue it'll be, and what's better than an excuse to eat cake quicker?

Are there any seasonal treats that make people think about you?
