Ingredients
  • 1¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, not packed
  • ¾ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 3 eggs
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1/16 tsp ground pepper (a big pinch or about 5 cracks of black pepper from a grinder)
  • FROSTING:
  • 1 (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan generously and completely with cooking spray and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, and eggs until completely smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, ginger, salt, cloves, and pepper. Whisk together.
  5. Next, pour the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture and whisk together until smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
  7. Let the cake cool completely, and then make the frosting and frost it.
  8. To make the frosting, use a hand mixer to mix the butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar together. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. To get the cooled bundt cake out of the pan, run a butter knife along all of the edges and also the center edges. Shake the pan gently to see if the cake is loosened. Invert the pan onto a large plate or cake tray.
  10. Frost the cake by putting big spoonfuls of the frosting on the top of the bundt cake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread and press the frosting down and around all of the cake.
  11. Serve and Enjoy!
