Perfectly spiced, moist, and glazed with a rich cream cheese drizzle, Pumpkin Ginger Bundt Cake combines the best flavors of Fall. This cake will make a great breakfast, snack, or dessert.
As we enter into November, which just happens to be my birthday month and favorite month of the year, I am still feeling the love for pumpkin. I don't think that ever goes away! I have officially made this bundt cake too many times, but I can't help it, everyone in my family loves it. It's been proven to be the perfect cake to bring to someone's house or office to celebrate fall!
This Pumpkin Ginger Bundt Cake has a moist texture, strong flavors of cinnamon and ginger, and a rich cream cheese glaze. It may seem strikingly similar to the Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bundt Cake, but they do have their differences. You'll just have to make both to compare them!

Tips and FAQs for Pumpkin Ginger Bundt Cake
- If you have extra batter after filling the bundt pan, you can pour the leftover batter into a mini muffin pan and have the best mini muffins tossed in cinnamon sugar!
- To ensure the cake comes out of the pan properly, butter and flour the pan well.
You can simply just drizzle the glaze over the cake by waving the bowl of glaze over it, or if you want a more neat look, you can pipe the glaze onto the cake with a pastry bag.
