Fall is just around the corner, and you know what that means- pumpkin everything! Now, I love pumpkin just as much as the next person, but I’m not one who believes pumpkin belongs in everything. But since the weather is starting to cool down here, the kids and I wanted to bake a delicious, fall-inspired dessert.
Enter the mini pumpkin Bundt cake.
These little cakes are the perfect fall dessert- small enough to not feel totally overindulgent but packed full of pumpkin and the delicious fall spices you love. They make a perfect weekday treat but would also be a lovely Thanksgiving dessert. These cakes are so simple, too! The kids were able to help me whip these up in no time!

Steps to Make the Cake
1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
2. Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices together in a large bowl.
3. Whisk sugar, water, oil, eggs, and pumpkin in a separate bowl.
4. Add your wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Grease your Bundt pan. (Here is the pan I use and love! Nordic Ware Platinum Collection Garland Bundt Pan) I used a Pam baking spray to be sure the cakes came out of all the tiny ridges in my pan, but you can also just use butter and flour.
6. Fill each well 2/3 of the way full and bake for 20-25 minutes or until an inserted cake tester comes out clean.
7. Allow to cool 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
Now, these cakes are delicious on their own, but you can also whip up this simple glaze for a little extra oomph. Just whisk the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk together, then drizzle over your cakes once completely cooled.
