Best ever Pumpkin Bundt Cake . . . this pumpkin cake recipe is fantastic, and the cinnamon cheese frosting makes it out of this world!
I am of the belief that pumpkin desserts are not to be served only during the fall season. They are way too darn yummy to only appear one time a year!! So I made this pumpkin bundt cake and took it to a Relief Society (church ladies) dinner last week. I had several recipe requests, so I guess I’m not the only one who thinks pumpkin desserts aren’t only for autumn!
I love making bundt cakes, because they are so pretty, but aren’t much more work than a sheet cake. I tweaked a couple of my favorite pumpkin cake recipes to come up with this one. It is fabulously moist and has a great cinnamon spice flavor.
I decided to try adding cinnamon to the cream cheese frosting, and I thought it was a great addition. Just try not to eat it by the spoonful, I dare you.
If you have any leftovers, they are even more moist the next day. So, so yummy!!

Instructions
- Cake: Whisk together oil, pumpkin, and sugar. Beat in eggs. Add dry ingredients and mix well.

Ha! I ran out of oil and added 1/2 applesauce to finish the cup. I just saw I left out a cup of sugar completely by accident, and it turned out great! Used white sugar and 1/2 white 1/2 wheat flower. This is my second time making this cake.
Thanks! I just wonder if I need to refrigerate leftovers
