About
If you find pumpkin spice a godsend, then this Angel Pumpkin Cake will feel and taste truly heavenly! A cake so tender, it's positively cloud-like, Angel Pumpkin Cake is infused with the warm spice of pumpkin flavor and a hint of golden orange brightness. If that doesn't sound like an autumnal angel, nothing else will; except maybe the cinnamon glaze on top! This is a dessert with a true touch of divinity!
Ingredients
- For the cake:
- 1 (15-16-ounce) box angel food cake mix
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 3/4 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 cup orange juice
- For the cinnamon glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
Directions
Step 1 -Move the oven rack to the lowest position.
Step 2 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 4 -Mix the batter on medium speed for 1 minute.
Step 5 -Pour the batter into the angel food cake pan and run a thin knife through the batter to break up any air bubbles.

Step 9 -Mix the powdered sugar, the cinnamon, and the remaining orange juice, adding 1 tablespoon of the juice at a time, until the glaze reaches a drizzling consistency. You may not need all of the juice.
Step 10 -Spoon the glaze over the cake.
Step 11 -Slice and serve.
