Ingredients
  

Cake Batter

  • 340 Grams all-purpose flour (sifted) (2 ¾ Cups)
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ½ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 15 Ounce Canned Pumpkin Puree (do not use pumpkin pie filling)
  • 213 Grams Light Brown Sugar (1 Cup)
  • 8 Fluid Ounces Vegetable Oil (1 Cup)
  • 4 Large Eggs (room temperature)

Pecan Cream Cheese Filling

  • ¾ Cup Toasted Pecans (finely chopped)
  • 12 Ounces Cream Cheese (full fat) (room temperature)
  • 100 Grams Granulated Sugar (½ cup)
  • 1 Large Egg (room temperature)

Glaze

  • 2 Cups Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoon Water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F
  • Prepare a 9" round Bundt cake pan by spraying generously with baking spray.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until it is smooth. Add the granulated sugar and one egg. Continue to mix until well combined. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg. Whisk to combine ingredients.
  • In a separate bowl add the pumpkin puree, oil, brown sugar and eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until all ingredients are combined.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan. Spread evenly and make a small 'well' in the center.
  • Pipe or spoon the filling into the well you just created in the cake batter.
  • Add remaining cake batter and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Place the cake on a wire rack and let cool for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the pan over onto the wire rack.
  • Allow the cake to cool for one hour. Remove the Bundt pan and move cake to a serving platter.

Glaze (optional)

  • Stir together the confectioners sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and water. Slowly spoon the glaze over the Bundt cake. Add more confectioners sugar if you prefer a thicker icing.
