This Pumpkin Bundt Cake starts with a cake mix that is amped up with delicious brown butter.
Ingredients
- 11 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3-5 Tbsp heavy whipping cream (or milk) (I used ~12 Tbsp)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 12-cup bunt pan with nonstick cooking spray (with flour is best)
- Place butter in small sauce pan over medium-low heat. Melt, then stir often, cooking until the butter browns (~5-7 minutes). Stir often. The butter will foam, then reduce. Once it starts to turn brown it can burn quickly. Remove from heat
- Remove 1/3 cup of browned butter and add to the cake mix, pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice in a large bowl. Mix with mixer until smooth.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 35-38 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before glazing.
Glaze
- Place reserved brown butter in a bowl (if it solidified, heat in microwave until liquid again). Whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla and salt. Add heavy whipping cream 1 Tbsp at a time until desired consistency.
- Drizzle over cake (may need to pipe depending on consistency)
