Ingredients

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground clove
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • tsp ground cardamom
  • 440 grams brown sugar packed 2 cups
  • 114 grams brown butter softened or regular softened butter you will need 114 grams + 8 tbsp regular butter to brown 114 grams of brown butter.
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 125 grams greek yogurt room temperature ½cup
  • 425 grams pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Cream Cheese Glaze

  • 170 grams cream cheese room temperature 3/4 cup
  • 120 grams powdered sugar 1 cup
  • 60 grams butter room temperature
  • tsp vanilla
  • 100 grams chopped pecans or walnuts 1 cup (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 175°C
  • Prepare your bundt pan; butter and flour well. Don't forget the center column. (This recipe is for a 12 cup bundt, if yours is smaller half the recipe.)
  • In a medium bowl whisk together baking powder + baking soda + flour + all spices + salt.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat together brown sugar + vegetable oil + butter on medium-high for 3 minutes. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, making sure the egg is incorporated before adding the next egg, about 30 seconds each. Add the vanilla in with the eggs.
  • Add the greek yogurt + pumpkin puree mix until combined. Scrape the bowl to ensure the mixture is well incorporated.
  • Remove the bowl from your mixer and fold in your dry ingredients ⅓ at a time. Do not over mix.
  • Spoon the mixture into your prepared bundt pan. Firmly tap the bundt on the top of your counter a couple of times to remove any air bubbles and to settle the mixture evenly.
  • Place bundt in the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes or until a wooden stick inserted to the center comes out clean.
  • Remove cake from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
  • Gently run the tip of a knife along the bottom of the bundt and center column to loosen the cake a bit.
  • Invert your serving plate onto the bottom of the bundt and in one swift motion flip over. Gently tap the top of the bundt with the handle of a knife. If the bundt has been properly butter and floured and the cake has fully cooked it should pop out easily.
  • Let cake completely cool before glazing.

For the cream cheese glaze

  • With a whisk mix your room temperature butter and cream cheese.
  • Add in the vanilla and powdered sugar whisking untill smooth.
  • Warm it up in a small saucepan, were looking for a semi-thick consistency. A trick to know if your glaze is too runny is to dip a spoon inside your glaze and run your finger through it. If the glaze holds itself and doesn't run back together you are ready to go.
  • Pour the glaze over the top of your cake.
  • Decorate with some chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
