Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Are you sick of pumpkin yet?  Not me, I love all things pumpkin.  We have had a the most beautiful fall.  I just wish it could last longer.  The mountains are alive with reds and yellows.  They say when you have a wet spring that the fall leaves will have a brighter color.  Must be true because we had a very wet spring. 

This is a wonderful moist bundt cake, as most are.  It has a buttery pumpkin glaze that tops it off beautifully.  I chose to sprinkle chopped pecans on it as well as mini chocolate chips.  The choice is yours whether you want to put toppings on it or not.
