PUMPKIN BUNDT CAKE WITH MAPLE BROWN-BUTTER GLAZE



Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Maple Brown-Butter Glaze image

Bundt cakes are classic showstoppers - big, lofty and usually dressed in elegant drizzles and drips of glaze. Here, a dense, moist cake full of warm fall spices and pumpkin purée is encased in a layer of rich, nutty brown-butter maple glaze. Feel free to make it a day before you plan to serve it: This cake keeps well at room temperature, and you might think it's even better on the second day. Just make sure to keep it covered and resist the urge to shave off a slice every time you walk by. If you can find it, use organic confectioners' sugar for the glaze. It's made from raw sugar and uses tapioca rather than cornstarch as its anticaking agent. It will give the glaze a richer taste and smoother texture than conventional confectioners' sugar - a tip picked up from Stella Parks.

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cups/384 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups/440 grams light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup/114 grams unsalted butter, soft but cool
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 (15-ounce) can/425 grams pumpkin purée
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup/102 grams confectioners' sugar (preferably organic), sifted
1/4 cup maple syrup
Pinch of salt
1 to 2 tablespoons lightly toasted pepitas (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees, and butter and flour a 12-cup (or larger) capacity bundt pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice and black pepper until well combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine brown sugar, butter and olive oil. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for about 20 seconds in between each egg. Add the pumpkin purée and sour cream, and mix until well combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer, and use a rubber spatula to fold in the dry ingredients until well combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure an evenly mixed batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on the countertop a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.
  • Set the cake, still in its pan, on a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then use the tip of a knife to loosen the edges and invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely before glazing.
  • Make the glaze: Once the cake is cool, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a rubber spatula until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Don't walk away from the pan during this process. The butter can go from brown and nutty to acrid and burnt in mere moments.
  • Transfer butter and all the brown bits from the pan to a heat-safe bowl, and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and salt until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it's too thin, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. If it's too thick, add a few drops of water.
  • Transfer the cake to a serving platter and pour the glaze evenly over the top. Sprinkle with pepitas if desired. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing.

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Cake
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups sour cream
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped
1/4 cup plus 1 1/3 cups maple sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
13 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces, room temperature
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Glaze
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • For cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 9-inch-diameter Bundt pan, then spray with nonstick spray. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl. Whisk sour cream and maple syrup in another medium bowl. Mix walnuts, 1/4 cup maple sugar, and cinnamon in small bowl.
  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and remaining 1 1/3 cups maple sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs and vanilla, occasionally stopping to scrape down sides of bowl. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with sour cream mixture in 2 additions. Transfer 2/3 of batter to prepared Bundt pan. Sprinkle with walnut mixture. Pour remaining batter into pan.
  • Bake cake until tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool 20 minutes. Turn out cake onto rack; cool completely.
  • For glaze:
  • Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Let stand until thickened, about 30 minutes. Pour glaze over cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep at room temperature.)
  • Serve cake with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • For a smooth batter, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be sure to sift the flour before measuring it. This will help ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • For a shiny glaze, brush the cake with simple syrup before applying the maple glaze.

Conclusion:

Pound cake with maple glaze is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be dressed up or down to suit your needs. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or just as a simple treat, this cake is sure to please everyone.
