Ingredients
Cake
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp cloves
- ¼ tsp allspice
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1⅓ cups sugar
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup neutral oil, such as vegetable or avocado
- 1 15 oz can of pumpkin

Cream Cheese Glaze
- 3 oz plain cream cheese, softened
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp allspice
- pinch of salt
- 1½ tbsp milk
Instructions
Make the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour the inside of your bundt cake pan.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice, and cloves until well mixed.
- Then in a larger bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugars, and oil until smooth. Add the can of pumpkin and vanilla and continue whisking until everything is fully mixed. Add the dry ingredients to your wet batter and gently fold them in until the flour is just incorporated. Try to avoid over-mixing the batter. Slowly pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan.
- Bake the cake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove it from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then give it a few taps on the side and turn it over onto a rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla they are well combined. You can opt to do this with a hand or stand mixer if you desire.
- Add the remaining ingredients and whisk everything together until you get a smooth glaze. Add more milk if needed to help reach your desired consistency. Once your cake has cooled, spoon the glaze on over the top and let it drip down the sides. Optional: garnish with some chopped toasted pecans. Enjoy!
