Hi Bold Bakers! Fall is here, folks. This is not a drill! It’s time for pumpkin everything! There’s no better way to kick off pumpkin season than starting with this delicious pumpkin bundt cake with the most wonderful brown sugar glaze. Already have an account? This homemade pumpkin bundt cake has everything I want in a fall dessert: it’s moist and full of warm spices and, of course, pumpkin. To round out those flavors, the glaze lends a wonderful caramel sweetness. It tastes a lot like pumpkin pie, but I have to say, it’s a lot easier to make. Warning: baking this cake will fill your house with lovely fall smells. You might want to go apple picking next. Bake this cake for a nice dessert after dinner, then enjoy it for breakfast the next day!
What Is Pumpkin Bundt Cake?
This bundt cake recipe gets its flavor from pumpkin puree and my homemade pumpkin pie spice — the perfect combination of sweet and savory spices. The secret ingredient though is sour cream. Seriously, don’t skip it! It’s what makes this cake moist and the slight tang really makes the cake come alive.

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Brown Sugar Glaze
Always be sure your cake ingredients are at room temperature for the evenest mixing and best rise. Make a batch of my homemade mixed spice and use it in place of the pumpkin pie spice if you’d like something different. Go traditional by using my homemade pumpkin pie spice mix. Pumpkins and chocolate are a great combination – try adding 1 cup (6oz/170g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter just before you pour the cake into the pan to make a pumpkin chocolate chip cake. Serve warmed slices of this cake with my homemade salted caramel gelato for a cozy treat. This is a nice alternative to pumpkin pie for a Thanksgiving dessert!
