Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Reasons why I love bundt cakes: So simple. No layers. Make it all in 1 bowl. And even if the frosting is messy it still looks good!
This Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is one of our favorite fall treats – soft and fluffy pumpkin cake (even delicious without frosting!) and creamy rich frosting. You’ll love this easy fall dessert.
Another thing I love about this cake is it’s so easy even your kids can make it! I love making doctored up cake mixes – they end up with the best consistency and they are so easy to throw together.
If you can, try to get this Heilala Vanilla Bean Paste for the frosting – it takes the vanilla to another level. If you don’t have it, you can use extract no problem, but this vanilla has become my favorite.
