Ingredients
  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 can (15 ounces) Pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons Milk

Prepare the Pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies to prevent sticking.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. This ensures even distribution of the spices.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix well until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Glaze

In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.

Glaze the Cake

Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before serving.

FAQ

  • Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

    No, canned pumpkin pie filling contains added spices and sugar that will affect the cake's texture and flavor. Use pure pumpkin puree for the best results.
  • How do I prevent my bundt cake from sticking to the pan?

    Grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly, making sure to get into all the crevices. You can also use a baking spray specifically designed for bundt pans. Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack.
  • Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter?

    Yes, feel free to add chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) or chocolate chips to the batter for added flavor and texture. About 1 cup of either would be a good amount.
