Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Pecans | 1/2 cup |
| Brown sugar | 1/2 cup |
| Butter | 1/4 cup |
| Instant butterscotch pudding mix | 1 box (3.4 oz) |
| Cinnamon | 1 tsp |
| Clove | 1/2 tsp |

| Eggs | 3 |
| Canned pumpkin | 1 can (15 oz) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the pecan topping: In a bowl, mix together the pecans and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly into the bottom of the greased bundt pan.
-
Combine the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cake mix, instant butterscotch pudding mix, cinnamon, clove, and allspice. Stir until well mixed.
-
Prepare the wet ingredients: In another bowl, blend together the eggs, canned pumpkin, and apple juice until smooth.
-
Mix everything together: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and beat until thoroughly combined into a smooth batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the sides of the cake start to separate from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes.
-
Invert the bundt pan onto a cake platter or serving plate, allowing the cake to release onto the platter. Let it cool completely before serving.
