Easy Pumpkin Bundt Cake – Perfectly sweet, subtly spiced, moist, soft, tender, and bursting with fall flavors! Great for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.

I love this pumpkin bundt cake because it’s unbelievably delicious and so simple to throw together. You probably have all of the ingredients in your kitchen already: flour, pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, spices, baking powder, and light brown sugar.

Combine the dry ingredients (flour, spices and baking powder), whisk together the wet ingredients (sugar, oil, eggs, and pumpkin puree), then gently fold the two together, and bake. No mixer required: just a couple of mixing bowls, a whisk, and a wooden spoon is all you need.

 The cake batter is very thick. Be careful not to over mix it!

This recipe has no butter. I’ve substituted it with mild olive oil. Coconut oil, canola or vegetable oil are other great options.

Cake flour makes cakes light and tender. Feel free to use all purpose flour or make your own cake flour.

This pumpkin bundt cake came out of the pan looking so beautiful that it didn’t even need frosting or glazing so I opted for a simple dusting of powdered sugar. Just make sure to grease and flour your bundt pan really well before you pour in the batter.
