    There are so many ways to use pumpkin in the Fall and I love all the options but there is nothing better than a classic bundt cake. The cream cheese filling is what makes this pumpkin bundt cake extra special. Although I love cream cheese frosting paired with a pumpkin bundt cake, I love cream cheese filling even more. Moist in texture and full of so much flavor, this pumpkin cream cheese bundt cake will be perfect for a breakfast treat with coffee or served for dessert.

    If you find yourself bundt cake obsessed after making this recipe, you should try this Apple Spice Bundt Cake next. As these Fall days get chillier, having a warm, spiced cake really is the best comfort! These kinds of recipes will also be amazing for your Thanksgiving dessert lineup.

    • Flour- Simple, all-purpose flour is great for this recipe
    • Cream Cheese- The magic ingredient of the creamy filling
    • Sugar- For sweetness, and to combine with cinnamon for the topping
    • Baking Soda and Powder- Make sure you use both leavening agents to help the cake rise

    Tips and FAQS for Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

    • Make sure all the ingredients are room temperature so everything combines easily
    • Have the cinnamon sugar prepared before you brush the cake with butter, as it needs to be sprinkled on right over the butter to stick
    What can I do to make sure the cake comes out of the pan easily?

    Butter and flour the pan before pouring the batter in, and the cake should come out without any problems.
