Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 c all purpose white lily or cake flour
1 box 3.4 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 c truvia sugar blend or(3 cups regular sugar)
2/3 c evaporated milk
1/3 c pumpkin liqueur ( or use all milk)
1 can(s) 15 oz. canned pumpkin (2 cups)

1 Tbsp orange zest
1 Tbsp orange extract
1 Tbsp butter extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. This is what one of the Bundt pans that I used in the recipe looks like. It is called a Heritage Bundt Pan, and has a 10 cup capacity. I ordered it from Amazon. Of course the pan was not filled to the top with the batter, must allow some space for cake to rise.
  • 2. This is the other pan used also a 10 cup capacity and I also ordered from Amazon. It is called a Kugelhopf. I always get great results when I use either pan. ALWAYS ALLOW ENOUGH SPACE FOR CAKE TO RISE IN PAN, WITHOUT SPILLING OVER. If you bake complete recipe in a larger Bundt pan must allow additional baking time.
  • 3. Add dry ingredients to a medium bowl, flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, pudding mix,& pumpkin spice & then stir to blend. Set aside till needed.
  • 4. Beat the eggs sugar and oil till thick and frothy.
  • 5. Then add in the canned Pumpkin and beat till blended. Plump the raisins in a small bowl by covering with water, and then microwave for 3 minutes, allow to cool and then drain.
  • 6. Add raisins to cake batter, and stir to blend.
  • 7. Next add the chopped Cranberries, blend into batter with a large spoon.
  • 8. Now add the Black walnuts and blend together till mixed into batter.
  • 9. Lastly add the orange juice, orange zest, both extracts, and mix together till througly blended.
  • 10. Prepare both bundt pans by spraying with non stick cooking spray or bakers joy, and then evenly divide batter between the 2 pans. Place in preheated 350 degrees F. oven and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of cake.
  • 11. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes then invert onto a cooling rack or platter. Serve plain with a cup of coffee, or add a glaze or frosting as desired.

Tips:

  • Baking evenly: Ensure the oven is preheated and place the baking pan in the center of the oven to promote even baking.
