Pumpkin Raisin Spice Bundt Cake Recipe #135465


This is an incredibly moist dense cake that just reminds you that fall is on the way. I had a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin, we needed a cake for dinner one night and this was born. Its pretty basic but the flavors are nice and you can adjust the spices according to your own tastes. We like ours spicy so I always add more :) I hope you like it.


1 (18 1/4 ounce) box spice cake mix, I use Duncan Hines


1 (3 1/2 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding


1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, I use Libby's


1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (to taste)


1/2 teaspoon allspice (to taste)


1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (to taste)


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 cup raisins, plumped in warm water


3 eggs


1 (14 ounce) can condensed milk


1/2 cup milk


3/4 cup maple syrup


1 egg yolk





12-14 servings Change size or US/metric


Change to: servings US Metric





1 hour 5 minutes 15 mins prep





First put the raisins into the warm water to plump them up. Do this before you start the cake and they should be good in 10 minutes or so. Grease a 10 cup bundt pan really well.


For the Cake:.


Empty the mix into a large bowl and add the vanilla pudding mix. Then add the pumpkin,3 eggs and the vanilla and mix well. Next add your spices altering them to your own tastes. The batter will be very thick.


Drain the raisins and fold them into your batter. Pour into the prepared bundt pan.


Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes. Test to check for doneness since all oven are a little different.


Cool Completely and drizzle glaze over the cake.


For the Glaze:.


In a small pot over medium heat add the condensed milk, regular milk, egg yolk and syrup. Mix well and cook until the mixture starts to thicken. Be careful not to burn the bottom of your pan. If it happens, simply strain the glaze into a bowl. Cool completely, and drizzle over cake.

1/4 cup butter or stick margarine, softened


2 tablespoons vegetable oil


2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


1/2 cup packed brown sugar


1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt

3 cups sifted cake flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


3/4 teaspoon ground allspice


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg


1 1/2 cups fat-free milk





Caramel frosting or Cream-cheese frosting is what my Nana used.





RECIPE METHOD


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat 3 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon flour.





Beat granulated sugar, butter, oil, and vanilla at medium speed of a mixer for 1 1/2 minutes or until well-blended. Add brown sugar, yogurt, and egg whites; beat at high speed of a mixer 1 1/2 minutes





Lightly spoon 3 cups sifted cake flour into measuring cups. Combine sifted flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a bowl. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.





Pour cake batter into prepared pans. Sharply tap pans once on counter to remove air bubbles. Bake at 350 degrees F for 24 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes on wire racks; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks.





Place 1 cake layer on a plate. Spread with 1/3 cup Caramel Frosting; top with another cake layer. Spread with 1/3 cup frosting, and top with the remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake





Only 7G. of fat per serving - a bit but better than a lot of cakes. Use no-fat cream-cheese frosting but DO NOT use soft marj. - only cubes or replace with butter! And definetly DO NOT over bake the spices become ';hard'; and yucky!
