a simple Bundt® cake with pumpkin and brown sugar swirl. The cake is excellent on its own, but a straightforward vanilla or cream cheese frosting would be nice.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, divided
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-cup fluted tube pan, such as Bundt®.
- Mix together brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl until mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined in a second bowl.
- Cream white sugar and 3/4 cup butter until light and fluffy in a third, large bowl. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in pumpkin, sour cream, and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, beating after each addition until just combined and taking care not to overmix.
- Pour 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over batter. Pour in remaining batter and smooth into an even layer.
- Place pan into the preheated oven and bake until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 60 minutes. Allow cake to cool in pan 30 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen, and remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
