Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup buttermilk

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

For a richer flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.

Ensure the cake is fully cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.

If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute with 1/2 cup of milk mixed with 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
