Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
One 15-ounce can pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour a 10 to 12-cup bundt pan.

  • Scrape into the pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted close to the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in the pan, then run a metal spatula around the edge and center of the pan and invert the cake onto a serving platter.
  • Stir together the confectioners' sugar, heavy cream and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cake.

PUMPKIN SPICE CAKE WITH HONEY FROSTING



Pumpkin Spice Cake with Honey Frosting image

This moist and delicious Pumpkin Spice Cake with Honey Frosting is a nice alternative to pumpkin pie.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin-pie spice (or 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon each allspice and cloves)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin puree
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very soft
1 bar (8 ounces) regular (or reduced-fat) cream cheese, very soft
1/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin-pie spice. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, butter, and pumpkin puree until combined. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture, and mix gently until smooth.
  • Turn batter into prepared pan, and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool cake 10 minutes in pan, then turn out of pan, and cool completely, right side up, on a rack.
  • Make Honey Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk butter, cream cheese, and honey until smooth.
  • Spread top of cooled cake with honey frosting. Cut cake into squares to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to pumpkin spice cake. It's rich, creamy, and tangy.
  • Decorate the cake with pumpkin spice-themed decorations. This will make your cake look festive and autumnal.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice cake is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its warm spices and rich flavor, pumpkin spice cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So grab a pumpkin, preheat your oven, and get baking!
