Ingredients
Scale
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
For the Glaze:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch Bundt pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and softened butter until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until well combined. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
Drizzle the cream cheese glaze over the cooled Bundt cake.
Notes
Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for the best results.
Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added.
You can test for doneness by gently pressing the top of the cake; it should spring back.
