Pumpkin Bundt Cake
I’ve been in the kitchen in the last couple of weeks making a ton of pumpkin recipes- pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin cannelloni and not looking to give it up just yet.
But we are in the holiday season and this will be my final farewell pumpkin dish and it is one of the most delicious and moist cake pumpkin desserts that everyone will love- the pumpkin bundt cake!
Fall is my favorite time of year with Christmas as a close second, what a competing time for seasons, back to back homemade recipes and never ending spice filled goodies. That’s why it was hard to give up the pumpkin, but it is time because there are lots of amazing holiday treats in store.
Here is a recipe that I took from the King Arthur site and this recipe is a keeper. This is for the novice baker that wants to feel good about making something delicious and looking for that guaranteed oh my god, eye popping reaction from everyone. And it’s all because of the added boxed cake mix. Yup, easy and delicious.
This will be one of your favorite fall bundt cake recipes to add to your lineup of desserts for special occasions. Made with warm spices and packed with fall flavor, this can be made with any boxed cake. I made mine with King Arthur's Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix- and you can not tell the difference. So, for all you looking to possibly go down the gluten free route, there are so many amazing and delicious options that can convert even the biggest naysayer. I've heard that using the Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines boxed cake mixes will come out just as fabulous!

Boxed Yellow Cake- any boxed cake will do. Even gluten free boxed cakes!
Libby's Pumpkn Puree- There is no other comparison, when making any desert involving pumpkin always bake with this brand.

How to Make:
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly grease 10-cup Bundt cake pan with a cooking spray or butter.
Whisk together the eggs, molasses, pumpkin purée, and oil in a large bowl and set aside.
Whisk together the cake mix, cornstarch, baking soda, and spice.
Stir in the dry ingredients together with the wet ingredients, then whisk until smooth.
Pour the cake batter into a prepared bundt pan.
Bake the cake for 60 to 65 minutes, until the center feels firm when pressed.
Remove the cake from the oven, let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out of the pan to cool completely on a wire rack. Dust the cake with confectioners' sugar or add salted caramel sauce or caramel frosting.
**For any leftovers, if there are any- make sure to place in an airtight container and is ready to eat for the next three days**
I first tried this recipe last year and have found it to be pretty perfect without modifying any ingredients. You can certainly trust King Arthur with that. This year, King Arthur has posted more fall cakes, such as apple cake and apple cider donuts that is definitely worth trying. This autumn season make a pumpkin spice bundt cake, best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and with a cup of coffee.
