Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract and pumpkin puree.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Stir until just combined — do not overmix.

Step 5: Bake Cake
Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top. Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 6: Frost and Decorate
For cream cheese frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then adjust consistency with milk if needed. Frost the cooled cake and add decorations as desired.

Notes

  • Moist Cake Tip: Do not overbake; pumpkin keeps it tender.
