Using a decorative Bundt pan is an easy way to make the simple Autumn Spiced Pumpkin Bundt cake look more impressive.
Anyone who knows me knows that I love to bake and decorate cakes and cupcakes. While I usually bake all my confections from scratch, there is no shame in having a few “box” cake recipes in your files for when you are short on time.
Using a decorative standard bundt pan is an easy way to make a simple cake look more impressive. I’ve transitioned over to my new Heritage bundt pan now and I just love how the cakes look coming out of that pan! There’s just something about a bundt pan that makes an ordinary cake feel festive and special. Try a bundt pan for your next cake and see for yourself how impressed your guests are over this super-easy cake!
This autumn-themed dessert combines pumpkin purée and seasonal spices, and is served with either a dusting of powdered sugar and our 5-minute, 5-ingredient Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce, or a simple royal icing making it easy enough yet also impressive enough for your Holiday entertaining.
