MADE ME LOVE PUMPKIN CAKE



Made Me Love Pumpkin Cake image

This is a tweak on my mom's banana-oatmeal cake that I made it for an early Thanksgiving dinner. I tried a piece to see how it came out and I love it! It tastes like a spice cake. I dislike pumpkin as a rule, but this cake is another story. Topped with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, it's sooo tasty! I can't wait to see if the rest of my family likes it as much as I do. I've also made this recipe using applesauce instead of pumpkin and it's just as good. This recipe calls for no eggs or salt.

Provided by Brookelynne26

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces cream cheese, softened (not reduced-fat or whipped)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grease and flour a 6 to 8-cup bundt pan and set aside.
  • Blend the cream cheese with the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the vanilla.
  • Scrape the bowl; add the egg and mix well. Set aside while you prepare the cake batter.
  • Sift the flour, the 1-1/3 cups granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl; whisk briefly to blend.
  • Whisk in the oil, lemon zest, and about half of the buttermilk until smooth. This first addition will prevent lumps from forming; do not be tempted to pour in all of the liquid at once.
  • Whisk in the remaining buttermilk, mixing only long enough to combine.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  • Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the batter, trying to center it in the pan so it doesn't reach either edge.
  • Cover with the remaining batter.
  • Bake for about 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and slightly firm to the touch. If you check it with a toothpick or cake tester, there should be only traces of cream cheese and no loose batter.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes; invert onto a rack to cool completely.
  • To add the final touch, stir the lemon juice into the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake in a random pattern.
