Pumpkin Bundt Cake
I love putting a creative spin on some of my favorite classic recipes. And luckily, my family loves that they are the lucky taste-testers for all these experiments! When I decided to see how my pumpkin pound cake recipe converted into this full-size bundt pan, I knew I had a winner!
That’s the fun part of baking – if you know some basic techniques, you can always tweak things a little to come up with a new and delicious combination.
This pumpkin bundt cake recipe is no exception – it’s moist, delicious and oh-so-fragrant as it bakes. Even better? It’s gorgeous when served to guests, beautifully serving around 15 people.
I love when readers comment on my recipes! Suzy says “This came out gorgeous looking and the frosting was a great addition!”

Ingredients in This Pumpkin Bundt Cake Recipe
Are you ready? Let’s get down to business! This pumpkin bundt cake recipe requires the following ingredients:
- Sugar – White sugar adds the perfect touch of sweetness. When the sugar is perfectly balanced in a bundt cake, no glaze is required! (Of course, I love a glaze no matter what – who can argue with an extra layer of decadence?)

- Flour – All purpose flour and no need to sift.
- Canola Oil – You can choose to use your favorite oil here, but since there’s no butter in this recipe, I prefer Canola. Canola oil adds to the tender crumb and moist texture of this cake.
- Eggs – The eggs in this cake act as a binder, and they also create more moisture and the perfect spongy texture.
- Baking Soda – Baking Soda will help this cake rise to perfection.
- Allspice – allspice is a blend of cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. Make your own with my allspice recipe! Don’t have allspice? Substitute 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg and 1/2 tsp ground cloves.
- Salt – I always use a little salt in my baking- it helps balance out the sweet and create the flavors we crave. This recipe calls for a classic, fine grain salt.
- Canned Pumpkin – it’s the real star of the show! The pumpkin in this recipe keeps the cake so moist and adds a touch of the fall flavor we crave!

Don’t forget the cream cheese glaze! To add this delicious glaze to your pumpkin spice bundt cake, you’ll need the following:
- Cream Cheese – room temperature and full fat is your best bet! Learn how to soften cream cheese – so easy!
- Butter – again, room temperature is best. I use salted butter but that’s a personal preference.
- Powdered Sugar – This is a must-have ingredient for your glaze because of the incredibly fine texture. No other sugar will do!
- Vanilla – It’s the ultimate fragrant addition to your baking – use store bought or Homemade Vanilla Extract, just avoid imitation vanilla.

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake Pans
I am not much of a collector in my day to day life, because I prefer a minimal lifestyle. However, one of the few purchases that I simply cannot resist is a new bundt pan! I love the charm, texture and seasonal designs of the bundt pans on the market today! In fact, there’s just something about a pretty bundt pan that can totally elevate your dessert- get ready to take your baking to a whole new level!
Here’s a few of my favorite fall bundt and loaf pan options, just in case you’re shopping for a new one:
- This one is a classic and I use it frequently, regardless of season.
- This harvest loaf pan is gorgeous and works with many of my pound cake recipes!
- Another classic, this one always creates a beautiful, elegant form. In fact, it’s the pan I used in these images.
- This little woodland cakelet pan is the sweetest way to serve individual bundt cake servings!
- Want to get a little creepy for Halloween? This skull cakelet would make the spookiest addition to your dessert display!
Tips and Tricks to Baking with a Bundt Pan
When prepared correctly, a bundt pan allows you to produce a beautifully finished product. Here are a few of my tricks for a perfect bundt pan experience.
Coat the pan thoroughly with butter or oil using a pastry brush or paper towel to ensure every crevice is covered. (I cannot stress this enough. Leave no crevice untouched!) Then you’ll sprinkle flour onto the pan and tap it in various directions until the pan has been covered. Tap to remove any excess so it doesn’t show on your cake.
OR use one of my favorite baking shortcuts. I am obsessed with this baking spray! It’s a game changer. Cakes come out clean every time, even in the most ornate baking pans! When your cake is finished baking, you should be able to remove your cake from the pan with ease.
