Ingredients:
- 3 cups (375g) All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Fine sea salt
- 1 tbsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp Ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp Ground cloves
- 4 Large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) Granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup (240ml) Neutral oil (Vegetable, Canola, or Grapeseed)
- 1 can (15 oz / 425g) Pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 4 oz (115g) Full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (115g) Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (240g) Powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 10-cup or 12-cup Bundt pan using melted shortening or high-quality baking spray, ensuring every crevice is coated.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 4 eggs with granulated and light brown sugars until the mixture is pale and frothy. Gradually stream in the neutral oil while whisking constantly to create an emulsion.
- Stir the 15 oz of pumpkin puree and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the wet ingredients until smooth.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a silicone spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the thickest part comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Sift in the powdered sugar, then add vanilla and heavy cream, whisking until a pourable consistency is achieved. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
