Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

We're loving all things Fall around here (despite the fact that it's still WAY too warm for our liking) and while the boys were at a baseball game this weekend Griffin and I got busy in the kitchen and made a little treat for after dinner that night.


I've had  this recipe on my to-make-list for a while and we were so excited to give it a try.



HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED
- 2 and 3/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup pakcaed brown sugar
- 3/4 and 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 5 eggs
- 1 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 oz block cream cheese, room temperature



HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL DO
Step 1 - Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg together in a bowl.  Set aside.




When I have any of the kids in the kitchen with me I usually pre-measure everything and put it in little measuring cups for them to just pour in.





Step 2 - Whisk the pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla extract together until combined.  Pour the wed ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until completely combined.  The batter will be SUPER thick and that's okay!

Yes.. .she has her own apron but insisted on wearing mine ;)











 And yes... we make a huge mess when we bake :)




Step 3 - Beat the cream cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract together until smooth.  This was WAY thinner than I thought it was going to be.  I let it set in the refrigerator for about 10 mins before spreading it.




Step 4 - Pour half of the batter into a greased bundt pan.  Spread the cream cheese filling on top and then top it with the second half of the batter.  Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.  Let it cool for an hour before turning it upside down and taking it out of the pan.


Mine came out SUPER wonky :)  It was HUGE and I'm thinking that maybe I didn't spread the batter out evenly enough?  Either way it tasted delicious so we didn't mind.


Look how cool!!!






 The band of filling varied throughout the cake and was so tasty!



 This was extra delicious with a cup of hot tea and makes the perfect Fall treat - plus as an added bonus my house smelled AMAZING!!!

Happy (almost) Fall, y'all!
