Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed

Instructions
 

Preparing the Cake Batter

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  • In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well for about 2 minutes until smooth and slightly lighter in color.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Baking the Cake

  • Pour the pumpkin bundt cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting and Serving

  • Once the cake has cooled, prepare your chosen frosting or glaze.
  • For cream cheese frosting, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake or drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
  • Slice and serve your pumpkin bundt cake at room temperature. Enjoy with a warm beverage for the ultimate fall treat.
