Pumpkin Cake with Orange Glaze

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 12

Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Light brown sugar
3/4 cup Butter flavor shortening
4 Eggs
16 oz Canned pumpkin
1/4 cup Water
2 1/2 cups Cake flour
4 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Chopped walnuts
1/2 cup Raisins
For Glaze
4 cups Confectioners’ sugar
1 Orange, zest only
4 tbsp Freshly squeezed orange juice
Additional chopped walnuts for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan generously with cooking spray or butter.

  2. Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the light brown sugar and butter flavor shortening. Beat on low speed until creamy.

  3. Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the canned pumpkin and water until well combined.

  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Mix the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, beating at low speed until everything is well blended. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat for an additional 2 minutes.

  6. Add Nuts and Raisins: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  7. Bake the Cake: Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before carefully removing it onto a serving plate.

  9. Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is cooling, prepare the orange glaze. In a mixing bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, orange zest, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Stir until the glaze is smooth and well blended.

  10. Glaze the Cake: Once the cake has cooled slightly, spoon the orange glaze over the top of the cake, allowing the excess glaze to run down the sides.

  11. Garnish and Serve: Before the glaze hardens, sprinkle some additional chopped walnuts over the top for extra flavor and a decorative touch.

  12. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into generous portions and serve it alongside a warm cup of coffee or tea for a delightful fall treat!

This Pumpkin Cake with Orange Glaze is a wonderful addition to any Halloween celebration or simply for indulging in the flavors of the season. Enjoy its moist texture, warm spices, and citrusy glaze that perfectly complement each other for a truly delightful dessert experience.
