Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Sharing is caring!

Pumpkin Bundt Cake — a classic fall dessert that is perfectly spiced. Each bite is moist with tender. The best part about this cake is the luscious cream cheese maple glaze we topped it with. This bundt cake would make a great dessert to serve to your family and guests this Thanksgiving.

Nothing says fall to me like delicious pumpkin desserts and this one is no exception.

This pumpkin bundt cake is one of the best cakes we have made. It has just the right amount of warm spices in it to give it the perfect flavor. The flavors are not too strong or too weak.

You can still taste pumpkin in the cake. The addition of maple syrup in the cream cheese glaze is perfect to match the pumpkin, too.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the pumpkin bundt cake

  • Canned pumpkin
  • flour
  • baking soda
  • spices: cinnamon + ginger + nutmeg + allspice + cloves
  • sugar
  • eggs
  • oil

For the cream cheese maple glaze

  • cream cheese
  • powdered sugar
  • maple syrup
  • milk

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Bake the cake in a greased and floured bunt pan. You can also bake this cake in 9×13 inch pan as well. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Let the cake cool in a pan for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool on a wired rack. You want to cool this cake completely before drizzling the glaze on top.

Make the Cream Cheese Maple Glaze

Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add the maple syrup and continue to beat. Slowly add the powdered sugar until smooth.

Pour over the cake and allow it to drip down the sides.
