This tender Pumpkin Cake Bundt Recipe takes a fluffy pumpkin cake and swirls it with a cozy chocolate-spiked cinnamon streusel. Whole grain flour forms its sturdy crumb that holds up well to any type of occasion.
115-ounce can pumpkin purée, or 2 cups pureed pumpkin
2teaspoonspure vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the streusel:
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside.
Make the cake:
Heat the oven to 350℉. Grease a bundt pan (or regular springform pan) with butter and then flour, tapping out the excess.
Whisk together the flour, spices, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, oil, brown sugar, and raw sugar or maple syrup. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking until each is incorporated. Whisk in the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until very smooth and well combined.
Stir and whisk in the flour mixture and mix just until flour is no longer visible.
Transfer half of the batter to the prepared pan, spreading into an even layer. Sprinkle the streusel over the batter evenly. Top with the remaining batter.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Flip the cake out onto the rack and cool completely.
