Moist and delicious - the perfect dessert for your Thanksgiving feast or any fall gathering.

Tired of the same old pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving? If so, you should definitely try this incredible Pumpkin Bundt Cake. It has the same characteristic flavor of a pumpkin pie, but will leave your family and guests saying “WOW”! What’s even better is that it’s easy to make, and can be made ahead of time and frozen.

Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Ingredients 

I used the following ingredients for the Pumpkin Bundt Cake: Granulated sugar, canola oil, eggs, pumpkin spice, baking soda, salt, canned pumpkin and all-purpose flour.

Making the Pumpkin Bundt Cake

As a starting point, I combined the sugar and oil in a large bowl, and beat on medium until well blended. Then I added the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. I sifted in the pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt, and continued beating the mixture until everything was well combined. Next I added the can of pumpkin and beat the mixture on high to ensure that all of the ingredients were fully incorporated.

Finally, I added the flour all at once. I beat the mixture on low speed, just until the flour was almost incorporated. Next, I switched to a wooden spoon to scrape the sides of the bowl and stir. I made sure that all of the flour was mixed in. Once the flour was added, I made sure not to overdo the mixing. The reason was that I wanted to minimize the gluten formation.

Adding flour

Finally, I I transferred the batter to a 10-inch bundt pan that I had sprayed well with a baking spray. (I used Bak-Klene ZT that I got from Williams Sonoma).

I baked the Pumpkin Bundt Cake in a preheated 350° F oven for 65 minutes. After 65 minutes, I inserted a toothpick near the center and knew that the cake was ready because the toothpick came out clean. While the cake was cooking, I enjoyed the wonderful smells coming from the oven.

I let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, I inverted it onto a wire rack to cool completely. When the Master Taste Tester saw the cake, he commented that the swirls looked like a northern hemisphere cyclone with counter-clockwise rotation. The Pumpkin Bundt Cake was moist and delicious. It made a perfect dessert for our Thanksgiving feast. Yum!

Here’s how you freeze and use the frozen Bundt cake for a later time:

  • Let it cool completely;
  • Put the Bundt cake on a cardboard disk, and put it in the freezer to freeze just until it’s firm and easy to handle;
  • Wrap the partially frozen cake in aluminum foil, making sure that the foil is securely folded around the cake to ensure that no air can get in;
  • Wrap it with a second layer of aluminum foil just to make sure that it’s air-tight;
  • Put the wrapped cake in a large Ziploc freezer bag; seal and label the cake with the date;
  • When ready to use, remove the cake from the Ziploc bag and loosen the foil. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for an hour or two;
  • The frozen cake will retain its fresh flavor for a month or two.
