Pumpkin Spice Mini Bundt Cakes with Cream Cheese Glaze are perfect for your Fall gathering or party. They are delicious, single-serve desserts loaded with flavor and spice for the holidays!
This is a combo of two previous recipes I have on my blog. And the best part is they're semi-homemade... you'll use a doctored cake mix recipe for the pumpkin cake. You don't have to do any from-scratch baking with all purpose flour or pumpkin pie spice!
Last year when I made the Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes and I told you they were a.maz.ing... I wasn't kidding! I was so excited to see the Pumpkin Spice Jello Pudding back in stores this year and I knew I had to make them again!
And since I already wanted to make some, I included them in the list of flavors available for Thanksgiving cupcakes and I had 5 dozen ordered! Whoo-Hoo!

But as often happens when baking cupcakes, my recipes didn't work out to the exact amount of cupcakes needed, so I had some extra batter. What to do... what to do?
Well then I remembered that a fan on Facebook commented that she had made the recipe, but in a bundt pan and used glaze instead of frosting. Well... a light came on in my head! I have the most adorable mini bundt pan that I rarely use!
Equipment for Mini Bundt Cakes

So that's what I did... I made Pumpkin Spice Mini Bundt Cakes... and added Cream Cheese glaze. And oh my goodness... I can't get enough of them!
Pumpkin Spice Cake Ingredients:
- Yellow Cake Mix or Spice Cake Mix
- Pumpkin Spice Jello Pudding
- Canned Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- Large Eggs
- Water
- Vegetable Oil
Another thing I love about this recipe is I don't have to pull out a bunch of fall spices. The Pumpkin Spice Jello Pudding Mix has all the flavors of cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and brown sugar. For the full cake recipe, be sure to visit my original Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes post. I used that recipe exactly for the cake. For the cupcakes, I added cream cheese frosting, but when you make these bundt cakes, you're going to want to use this cream cheese glaze.
Cream Cheese Glaze Ingredients
- Cream Cheese
- Butter
- Vanilla Extract
- Whole Milk
- Powdered Sugar
You can find the glaze recipe instructions here.
I may have added a bit too much glaze on the first pumpkin bundt cake ... if you can actually have "too much" glaze. I'm not sure you can.
If you happen to not like cream cheese glaze, or want something a little lighter, you can dust them with powdered sugar... or just eat them plain. They are still to die for.
So try them... Pumpkin Spice Mini Bundt Cakes with Cream Cheese Glaze asap!

Preheat oven to 350°. Mix all ingredients and scoop into a mini bundt pan. Bake for 19 minute.
Cream Cheese Glaze Instructions
Cream together the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and 4 tablespoons of milk. Beat until it's very smooth & creamy!
Gradually add in the powdered sugar until you have a consistency that you like. Taste for sweetness... add more powdered sugar and/or milk as needed.
Notes
*I haven't tried this, but if you can't find the Pumpkin Spice Jello Pudding, I'm thinking a great substitution would be 1 box of vanilla pudding + 1 Tbsp. of Pumpkin Pie Spice.
