This Pumpkin Bundt Cake is super moist and topped with a maple glaze and toasted pecans! A perfect dessert for the holidays that “wow’s” and is easy enough to make even if you aren’t totally kitchen confident.
A simple, homemade Pumpkin Bundt Cake that is bursting with pumpkin spice flavor and so easy to make from scratch!
Bundt Cakes are probably my favorite cakes! They are easy to make, slice and serve. Because of the shape of the pan, they look like you spent much more time making them than you actually did. No need for frosting or cake decorating, bundt cakes are natural beauties. They look pretty with just a thin glaze dripped over the cake or dusted with powdered sugar.
This bundt cake is super moist because it is made with one whole can of pumpkin puree. It can be made ahead and travels well! This would be a great cake for the holidays!
Tips and Tricks for Making this Pumpkin Bundt Cake Recipe
- Even nonstick coated bundt pans need to be well greased. Dusting with flour helps but is not usually necessary.
- To remove the cake from the pan, place a large plate over it. Holde the plate in place and invert the pan. The cake should drop unto the plate.
- For this recipe, you need a 14oz can pure pumpkin puree, do not use pumpkin pie filling.

Tools used for Making this Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake Recipe
Bundt Pan: I use a 9.5-inch bundt pan with 10 cups capacity for my bundt cake recipes.
Pumpkin Puree: This is really the best pumpkin puree! It has a silky consistency and subtle sweetness. I always use this one!!
Pumpkin Pie Spice: This is what I use when I don’t make my own! But making it yourself is so easy and cheaper. Just combine 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice.

The cake recipe is amazing! Followed the recipe exactly except for the pumpkin spice measure, I did 3 tsp of it instead of the 2.5tsp. It was very good! I did use maple extract instead of maple syrup, the syrup didn’t add the strong maple flavor I was hoping for (I’m Canadian so I like my strong maple flavors!) It was still really nice! Made it for a Thanksgiving dinner and everyone loved it!

It’s delicious. I used home grown pumpkin, roasted first, then pureed in my food processor. The first cake disappeared quickly, so I making #2 this morning.
