TIME TO BRING THIS DREAM INTO REALITY
One of the things that I adore about Bundt cakes is that you don’t have to skimp on style if you want to skimp on toppings. You can choose as much frosting or glaze as your little heart can handle, or you can go light on the frosting to avoid the potential for a diabetic coma and still end up with a work of art. I personally love the flavor of this cake and wanted it to shine through, so instead of slathering it with the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting, I added a little more milk to the frosting and created a lighter glaze and topped it with hazelnuts.
And as you can see, it just looks incredible:
Ingredients
- 2 and ¼ cups flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground allspice
- ¾ tsp. nutmeg
- ½ tsp. ground ginger
- ¼ tsp. ground cloves
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 and ⅓ cups canned pumpkin
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Grease and flour a 10 Cup Bundt Pan and set aside.
- Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt) in a bowl and set aside.
- Mix the pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla in another bowl and set aside.
- With a handmixer or stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars until fluffy.
- Add eggs and beat until incorporated.
- Reduce speed to low and add flour and pumpkin mixtures and slowly combine the mixtures. I like to add a little flour, then a little pumpkin, and then a little flour, alternating until combined.
- Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (crumbs on the toothpick are okay since it should be moist).
- Be sure to cool the cake for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan. TRUST ME.
Now make it pretty with a cream cheese frosting (like the one in the video below), sprinkle it with powdered sugar, or do what I do and make a light glaze (using butter, powdered sugar, and milk) and top it with nuts!
See? I told you you’d forgive me!
