Ingredients

  • 1 15-16 ounce package angel food cake mix

  • 1 cup cold water

  • ¾ cup canned pumpkin

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

  • 1 ½ cup powdered sugar

  • 2 - 3 tablespoon orange juice

  • ¼ cup pumpkin seed (pepitas), toasted (optional)

Directions

  1. Adjust baking rack to the lowest position in oven. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a very large bowl combine cake mix, water, pumpkin, flour, and pumpkin pie spice. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high speed for 1 minute, scraping sides of the bowl as needed. Pour batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Gently cut through batter to remove any large air pockets. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert cake; cool thoroughly in the pan, about 2 hours. Loosen sides of cake from pan; remove cake from pan. Place cake on a serving platter.

  2. Meanwhile, for glaze, in a medium bowl stir together powdered sugar and enough of the orange juice to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle orange icing over cake. Sprinkle with toasted pepitas, if desired.
