Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Use a small sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin for the best flavor. Field pumpkins are too watery and stringy for baking.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make the glaze while the cake is baking: This will give the glaze time to cool slightly before you pour it over the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.

This pumpkin cake with orange glaze is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the orange glaze adds a bright and tangy flavor. Follow the tips above to make sure your cake turns out perfect.
