A delicious Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze with step by step photos. It’s the perfect fall cake on Thanksgiving.

A few weeks ago I hosted my annual fall brunch. It was one of those seasonal brunches with pumpkin, butternut squash, and all things fall. While I typically try and keep things light with the main course and sides, a fall pumpkin dessert is worth a splurge in my opinion. Suffice it to say my girlfriends eagerly anticipate my desserts, and thus this isn’t exactly the time to experiment with healthier options.

Now, imagine this… a pumpkin cake with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves topped with a light maple cream cheese glaze. Verdict? Everyone loved this dessert! So here’s a phenomenal Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Maple Cream Cheese Glaze you should make this fall.

4. Add eggs one at a time, beat after each addition.
5. This is what you should have.

6. In a medium sized bowl combine the dry ingredients… flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Stir.
7. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
8. Then the pumpkin. Mix. Alternate between the egg mixture and pumpkin beating after each addition.

8. Pour batter into Bundt pan.
9. Into the oven for 60 – 65 minutes.

2. Add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and milk.
3. Glaze is ready… add more milk if you prefer a thinner glaze.
4. Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the cake. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
