Bundt Cakes are made in that distinctive ring-shaped cake pan, and have been popular since the 1950s and 1960s. They are such a traditional cake that brings on the nostalgia of comfort!
Pumpkin all the things season may be coming to an end, yet let’s prolong it a little more with this Pumpkin Bundt Cake recipe. Classic meets popular meets delicious!
Pumpkin Bundt Cake
I’m not a massive fan of the fall season, but all things pumpkin sure does ease the blow, doesn’t it? I love cuddling in and enjoying Pumpkin Spice Poke Cake and Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Muffins for example.
Each bite of this will have you thinking you’re at your local coffee shop, and sipping on a flavourful seasonal beverage. Yet instead, you’ll be comfy at home, having a slice of this cake.
This recipe results in a light and moist cake that takes one of the most popular fall drinks into an epic and tasty dessert.
While I have many pumpkin recipes here at My Organized Chaos, Even breakfast like these Maple Pumpkin Overnight Oats.
Yet this bundt cake recipe? It pretty much takes the cake {pun intended}.
With classic fall flavours such as pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg – the flavours burst with the addition of a mouthwatering cream cheese icing. Pecans as a topping are optional, yet encouraged!
Enjoy!
Also, don’t forget to try my delicious Carrot Cake recipe which is also a perfect Autumn recipe. This recipe? It’s to die for!

Funny, I’m not a big fan of pumpkin pie, but I love pumpkin flavouring in everything else. Must be the texture of the pie I don’t like. This bundt cake looks amazing. And when I saw your cream cheese icing, oh boy, this is a keeper. Thanks for sharing. Will be making this one over the holidays.
