Equipment

12-cup bundt pan

Ingredients

For pumpkin bundt cake

2-1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp cloves
1 can (15 oz) solid pack pumpkin
1 2/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup oil non-fragrant

For cream cheese maple glaze

4 oz cream cheese softened
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
3-4 tbsp maple syrup
1-2 tbsp milk optional for thinner glaze

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan and set aside.

For the pumpkin bundt cake

Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves in a mixing bowl.
In another large mixing bowl, combine canned pumpkin, sugar, eggs, and oil; whisk well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined.
Pour the batter to a prepared pan, smoothing out the top. Bake the cake in a preheated 350˚F oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in a pan for 15 minutes, then remove from the pan and let it cool on a wired rack. You want to cool this cake completely before drizzling the glaze.

For the cream cheese maple glaze

Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add the maple syrup and continue to beat. You can adjust the amount of maple syrup for your desired taste.
Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. You can also add a little milk to make a thinner glaze if you prefer. Drizzle the glaze over cooled pumpkin bundt cake.
