Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Rum Glaze

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2
Coat the inside of a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt) with cooking spray and sprinkle with chopped pecans.

Step 3
Combine cake mix, pumpkin, eggs, sugar, oil, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, and cloves in a large bowl. Beat using an electric mixer until smooth and pour over nuts in the prepared tube pan. Tap the pan gently to release any air bubbles.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Step 5
Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar, water, and pumpkin pie spice. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and allow glaze to cool slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rum.

Step 6
Remove cake from the oven and immediately turn out onto a plate. Poke small holes around the whole cake and quickly drizzle glaze over top and sides. Repeat using all of the glaze.
