Description

This Pumpkin Pound Cake is dense, but tender and moist, just like a pound cake should be! It’s loaded with pumpkin and spice for a cake you’ll want to make over and over!


Ingredients

Pumpkin Pound Cake

  • 1 1/2 cups (336g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups (450g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup (207g) sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups (390g) all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (291g) pumpkin puree
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Icing

  • 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp butter, room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cups (201g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 23 tbsp heavy cream


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 10-14 cup bundt pan with non-stick baking spray.
  2. In a large mixer bowl, cream butter and both sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy, for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until well incorporated after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure things are well combined.
  4. With the mixer on low, carefully add the flour, spices and salt and mix until just combined.
  5. Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into bundt pan and bake for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out moist but clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then invert cake onto cooling rack to cool to room temperature.
  8. When cake has finished cooling, make the icing. Beat the cream cheese and butter together until well combined and smooth.
  9. Add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
  10. Add the vanilla extract and one tablespoon of cream. Mix until well combined and smooth. Add additional cream, as needed, to get a drizzling consistency.
  11. Drizzle the icing over the cake and serve.
