Pumpkin Spice Cake

Makes 1 (10-cup) Bundt cake

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (15-ounce) can (425 grams) pumpkin (about 1¾ cups)
  • 1⅓ cups (293 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (180 grams) sour cream, room temperature
  • cup (149 grams) vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs (150 grams), room temperature
  • ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons (12 grams) vanilla bean paste
  • 2⅓ cups (292 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) baking powder
  • teaspoons (4.5 grams) kosher salt
  • teaspoons (3 grams) ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon (2 grams) pumpkin pie spice
  • ¾ teaspoon (1.5 grams) ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 grams) baking soda
  • Topping (recipe follows)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (170°C).
  • For batter: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, sour cream, oil, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, pie spice, cinnamon, and baking soda. Gradually whisk flour mixture into pumpkin mixture until smooth and well combined.
  • Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with baking spray with flour. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Tap pan on a kitchen towel-lined counter several times to settle batter and release any air bubbles.
  • Bake until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean and an instant-read thermometer inserted near center registers 200°F (93°C) to 205°F (96°C), 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert cake onto a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  • For topping: In a small bowl, stir together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Brush cake lightly with melted butter; cover with sugar mixture, pressing gently to help adhere, if needed. Serve immediately.
