Pumpkin Bundt Cake

16 Servings—Low-Fat

 

A wonderful aroma fills your kitchen when this cake is

baking.

 

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

4 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 cup buttermilk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 large eggs or equivalent egg substitute

1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

8 to 16 walnuts, garnish (optional)

 

Orange Glaze

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 to 2 Tbs. orange juice

 

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 10-inch Bundt pan

(12-cup capacity) with cooking spray.

2. In medium bowl, combine both flours, baking powder,

baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. Put

pumpkin in medium bowl. Gradually whisk in buttermilk,

oil and vanilla. Set aside.

3. In large bowl, combine eggs and both sugars. Beat

with electric mixer at high speed until pale in color

and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. With rubber spatula,

alternately fold in flour mixture and pumpkin mixture,

making 3 flour additions and 2 pumpkin additions.

Scrape into prepared pan. Smooth surface with spatula.

4. Bake cake until top springs back lightly when

touched and a toothpick inserted in center comes out

clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack

10 minutes. Loosen edges and turn cake out onto rack

to cool completely.

5. Make glaze: Sift confectioners’ sugar into medium

bowl. Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon orange juice; whisk

to blend. Gradually add just enough additional orange

juice until glaze is smooth and thick yet pourable.

Slowly spoon glaze over cake, letting it drip down

sides. Decorate cake with walnuts if desired. Let

stand until glaze has set, about 30 minutes.
