This Pumpkin Bundt Cake is moist, spiced, and topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting. It looks impressive but comes together in one bowl, making it an easy fall dessert for any occasion.
The most low-effort but “fancy” fall Pumpkin Bundt Cake!
I can't believe it has taken me this long to share an incredible Pumpkin Bundt Cake recipe! I love all of my cake recipes, but bundt cakes are the easiest cakes to bake and look beautiful with very little effort. That iconic frosting is easily piped with just a piping bag (not even a tip!). Once you make one, you won't want to spend $50 for the bakery version again. I can't wait for you to try this one!

How to make Pumpkin Bundt Cake:
Mix the Batter: Combine the sugars, eggs, pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt, then stir into the pumpkin mixture.
Bake: Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 350°F for 48 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
Frost: Beat the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, then mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Frost the cooled pumpkin bundt cake in stripes starting on the outside and going to the center. Use an angled metal spatula to smooth the center, if desired.
