Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk

How to Make Spiced Bundt Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
10. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until the frosting is creamy and spreadable.
11. Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle or spread the cream cheese frosting over the top. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until combined for a lighter cake.
• Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.

Easy Variations

• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
• Incorporate dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for added flavor.
• Substitute pumpkin puree for some of the buttermilk for a pumpkin spice version.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic combo.
• Hot coffee or spiced tea to complement the flavors.
• Fresh fruit, such as sliced apples or pears, for a refreshing balance.

Storage and Reheating

• Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
