📜 Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
For Maple Icing:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

🔪 Instructions:

Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly.
Creaming: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Incorporating Wet Ingredients: Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Combining Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, ground cloves, and salt.
Gradual Mixing: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, one cup at a time, stirring well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Adding Texture: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking: Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate. Let it cool completely before icing.
Preparing Maple Icing: In a heavy medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the sugar, evaporated milk, and maple syrup.
Boiling: Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Allow it to boil for 6 minutes, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Final Touch: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the icing into a medium-sized bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.
Beating: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the icing for 8-10 minutes until it thickens and becomes creamy.
Icing the Cake: Once the icing reaches the desired consistency, spread it evenly over the cooled pumpkin spice cake.
Serving: Slice the cake and serve it to your eager guests, delighting in the heavenly combination of pumpkin spice and maple flavors.
Enjoy! Revel in the warmth and comfort of this irresistible Pumpkin Spice Cake with Maple Icing, a true celebration of the season’s bounty.
