Pumpkin Bundt Cake 🎃🍰🍂 Moist, Spiced, and Beautifully Shaped for Fall Gatherings

This pumpkin bundt cake is rich, tender, and full of warm spices, baked in a decorative bundt pan for an effortlessly stunning presentation.

Drizzle with glaze or dust with powdered sugar for an elegant yet simple finish.

Ingredients (Serves 12–14)

For the cake

• 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• Pinch of cloves (optional)
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 large eggs
• 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

For the glaze (optional)

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp milk or cream
• ½ tsp vanilla extract or maple extract

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10–12 cup bundt pan thoroughly, making sure to get into all the grooves.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 3: Mix wet ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin purée, vanilla, and milk until smooth.

Step 4: Combine and bake

Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Pour batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool and glaze

Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. If using glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over cooled cake.

Flavor Variations

• Use maple extract in the glaze for a maple-pumpkin combination
• Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for crunch
• Mix in mini chocolate chips for extra indulgence
• Dust with powdered sugar instead of glaze for a lighter finish

Pro Tips

• Grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking
• Don’t overmix the batter — it keeps the cake tender
• For a prettier glaze drip, let the cake cool fully before glazing
• Wrap cooled cake tightly to keep it moist for several days

Final Thoughts

Pumpkin Bundt Cake is moist, spiced, and effortlessly beautiful thanks to its shape. Whether you glaze, sugar, or serve it plain, it’s a perfect centerpiece dessert for fall gatherings.

Mix it. Bake it. Serve pumpkin elegance by the slice. 🎃🍰🍂
