Cooking Instructions

1 hour 30 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a large bundt pan. I use softened unsalted butter and a pastry brush to slather an ample amount in all the nooks and crannies. Always tap out any excess flour.

  2. 2

    Put the first ten ingredients (no flour) in a large mixing bowl. Mix well with a whisk. This is what I call a slough.

  3. 3

    Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon just until mixed. Do not over mix.

  4. 4

    Transfer batter to prepared bundt pan using a rubber spatula/spoon. Tap pan on counter to ensure there are no air pockets.

  5. 5

    Place cake on center rack of oven to bake 55-60 minutes. Cake will test with a pick.

  6. 6

    Remove cake from oven and cool on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pan and finish cooling on rack.

  7. 7

    Make the frosting by placing all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mixing well with a wooden spoon.

  8. 8

    Frost the cooled cake with the frosting using a butter knife.

  9. 9

    Sprinkle a little pumpkin pie spice on top of cake for decoration.

  10. 10

    Serves 12 generously. Keeps at room temp on a cake plate with a dome.

  11. 11

    Note: If you wish, you can add up to one cup nuts to the cake batter. Add them when you add the flour. Walnuts would be my choice here. If you have a convection oven reduce temp to 325 and bake the same amount of time.
