This is one of the best pumpkin desserts that you can ever make.

Pumpkin is not that popular in Egypt, instead we have butternut squash and always make the famous this Pumpkin Casserole when in season. Since we landed here, I use pumpkin and butternut squash interchangeably.

❓Why This Recipe Works

  • Super easy to make with no special skills required.
  • Delicious on its own as a pumpkin bundt cake or covered with cream cheese frosting.
  • Fills your house with cozy autumn spices.

Fluffy, moist and absolutely delicious pumpkin cake. I really wanted to call this " the best, easy, moist, fluffy and delicious pumpkin cake" but thought it would be too much!. This cake is really lovely, crowning it with some dreamy cream cheese frosting makes it heavenly delicious.

I've decorated this cake with some simple flowers with the fall colors. You do not have to this is optional. But I gotta tell you it was a show stopper and we had so much fun me and the kids, playing with colors and different decorating tips. We ended up with a big messy kitchen table, but I managed to save those three little roses out of the way :).

💡 Expert Tips

  • You can use homemade pumpkin puree instead of store bought. Save those seeds and make roasted pumpkin seeds.
  • Make sure to buy pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling.

🧺 Storage

Cover leftovers with plastic wrap and place in an air tight container in your fridge for up to a week.

💬 FAQs

How long will pumpkin cake last?

Most freshly baked homemade cakes will last for about 1 week in the fridge with proper storing conditions. This means you need to cover it or put in an air tight container to prevent drying.

Can I freeze pumpkin cake?

Absolutely, you can. Place frosted cake on a parchment paper in a try and freeze until frosting is firm, 1-2 hours. Then place the frozen cake on a resealable plastic bag and freeze up to 3 months.

    This cake was moist and delicious, I didn’t use frosting because they ate 1/2 of the cake before I could make it. I am looking forward to try more of your recipes.
