That looks scrumptious! I have a Bundt Cake tray in my baking cupboard and a jar of freshly (homemade) pumpkin spice ready and waiting. I’ll bake this on Sunday.

What a tasty cake! I love pumpkin anyway but the combination of pumpkin and butterscotch definitely sounds like a winner.

YUM! This sounds delicious! I would never have thought of combining the two flavours but imagine they would taste so lovely together! I definitely plan on giving this recipe a try this autumn so thanks for sharing.
