Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • whisk
  • 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan
  • wire rack
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer

Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 15-ounce can pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Maple Cream Cheese Icing

  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons milk as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan thoroughly, making sure every crevice is coated.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil together until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the icing: Beat the cream cheese and butter together with a hand or stand mixer until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until creamy. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until the icing reaches a smooth, drizzle-ready consistency.
  • Drizzle the icing over the completely cooled Bundt cake. Let it set for about 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Optional garnish: Sprinkle with chopped toasted pecans and a light dusting of ground cinnamon before serving.
