Mike has been invited to attnd a Night of Remembrance tonight with his sister in law and nephews to honor his late brother. Lori is doing a great job of raising those two beautiful boys as a single parent. I promised her I would bake a cake for him to bring with him to share with the group at the event tonight.
So this morning after wrapping two clothes lines with fabric for coasters, I started to bake. Today's cake will be an Orange Pumpkin Spice Cake.
The ingredients are as follows:
1 boxed Spice Cake Mix with pudding in the mix.
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
1/3 cup oil
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 tbsp orange extract
1/4 cup almond meal Plus 2 tsp to coat pan
1/3 cup pumpkin purée
3 whole eggs
1/2 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease an 10-12 cup BUNDT pan. Sprinkle with almond meal to lightly coat the inside of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, blend all ingredients. Mix 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping the bowl as needed. Pour into your prepared pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 65-70 minutes or until toothpick tester comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on rack. Invert onto serving platter; cool completely on rack. If desired, drizzle with orange glaze (recipe follows).
Orange Glaze
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 TBSP softened butter
2-4 TBSP orange juice
1-2 tsp grated orange zest
In medium bowl, mix sugar and butter. Gradually add OJ until desired consistency is reached. Stir in orange zest. Drizzle over completely cooled cake.
