I love a good Bundt cake. They are easy to make—often just requiring a mixing bowl and a wooden spoon to mix up the batter. And even unadorned, they’re showstoppers.
A casual drizzle of a simple glaze gives a Bundt cake an elegant look.
This pumpkin spice Bundt cake is moist and delicious. Warming pumpkin pie spice, which includes cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg, adds seasonal flavor.
And of course, pumpkin purée gives the cake a rich sweetness, keeps it moist. It also adds that beautiful orange hue and pumpkin flavor.
A drizzle of coffee glaze turns this pumpkin spice cake into a pumpkin spice latte cake. It has all the flavors of your fave fancy fall coffee drink in a luscious cake.
If you want to try a really simple cake, try this chocolate cherry dump cake.
What ingredients do you need?
This is a pretty standard cake made from the usual cake ingredients, most of which you likely have in your pantry. Of course, the secret is in the three flavoring ingredients—pureed pumpkin (I use canned), brewed coffee, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Eggs
- Pumpkin puree (1 15-ounce can)
- Vegetable oil (or any neutral-flavored oil)
- Granulated sugar
- Dark brown sugar
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Pumpkin pie spice
- Powdered sugar
- Brewed coffee
You’ll also need a 9- or 10-inch Bundt pan. I like this Nordic Ware Bundt Pan.
How to make pumpkin pie spice with pantry spices?
I love using pre-made seasoning mixtures like chili powder or pumpkin pie spice because they save time in the kitchen. I also love that you can buy them in a single bottle rather than buying a dozen individual spices.
If you have the spices at home individually, you can certainly substitute them. Or whip up a homemade pumpkin spice blend.
Here’s how to make your your own pumpkin pie spice. Stir together:
- 1/4 cup ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon ground cloves
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
This makes about 1/2 cup of seasoning. Keep the seasoning mixture in a tightly capped jar in your spice rack for up to 6 months.

This recipe looks good, but I can’t find the instructions for preparing the pan, the oven temperature, or the exact baking time in the post.
All the information is in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. There is a “jump to recipe” link at the top if you don’t want to scroll.
There is no baking temperature in the recipe, would be very helpful!

The coffee glaze on this was amazing! Felt like a warm cup of pumpkin spice latte, except better because it’s cake!!
I made this for dessert this week and it was so delicious! I am going to make it again for our Thanksgiving menu! The coffee glaze was a nice change and was so delicious with the pumpkin cake!
I’m a sucker for a good bundt cake and this one is going to be my new go-to for fall. The pumpkin flavor was perfect and the texture of the cake was in that perfect sweet spot of moist but not overly so. Delicious recipe!
You weren’t kidding when you said this bundt cake was a pumpkin spice latte in dessert form. That’s the perfect description! The coffee glaze was the perfect finishing touch!
I whipped up this pumpkin bundt cake from your recipe, and it was a total taste triumph! The perfect pairing of pumpkin and spices made it a hit with my family – it vanished faster than you can say “pumpkin perfection.” Thanks for sharing this delightful dish!
I’m not into the hype of the PSL but in cake form – heck, yeah! This bundt cake is the perfect moist texture with the most delicious balance of spices along with the sweet cake. It’s impossible not to want a slice with cup of tea or coffee. Love the glaze on top too!
