Pumpkin chocolate bundt cake – notes
With September, pumpkin season begins, and for me, it’s pumpkin baking season :)
I love adding this vegetable to my cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. Pumpkin adds a beautiful – slightly orange color, moisture, and an interesting flavor to baked goods.
I like to combine it with cinnamon and other warming spices – such as nutmeg, cloves, or ginger.
That’s why pumpkin cakes taste best in autumn and winter! They smell wonderful and taste amazing, it’s the perfect autumn comfort food.
Bake a pumpkin chocolate bundt cake and enjoy its taste with a cup of hot tea or coffee. Add a warm blanket, a comfortable armchair or sofa, and your favorite book or series. Pleasant moments guaranteed :)
How to make pumpkin bundt cake with cocoa – tips
To make it easier for you to prepare the cake, I took photos during the process, so you can see for yourselves how simple it is.
If you already have pumpkin puree ready, preparing the pumpkin cake will take you a maximum of a dozen minutes.
If you only have raw pumpkin, first prepare puree from it. You can do this in two ways – by boiling or by baking.
I personally prefer to bake the pumpkin because I don’t have to watch it. Just cut the pumpkin, remove the seeds from the center, and place it skin-side up on a baking sheet.
Bake the pumpkin at 180 degrees Celsius (top-bottom mode) for about 40 minutes – you can check with a fork if it’s soft. After baking, cool the pumpkin, peel off the skin, and mash it. You can mash the baked pumpkin with a potato masher or blend it with a blender.
If you still have any doubts about preparing pumpkin, check out my pumpkin puree recipe – you’ll also find a video illustrating the entire process there.
As usual with sweet baked goods, I highly recommend Hokkaido pumpkin. It has a very nice, intensely orange flesh and is not very watery. Hokkaido pumpkin puree is therefore dense and does not need to be drained additionally.
My bundt cake is a pumpkin and cocoa bundt cake, so you will also need bitter cocoa, as well as buttermilk and oil. The rest are basic ingredients like flour, sugar, or eggs.
My pumpkin cake wasn’t very sweet, because as you know, I don’t like overly sweet cakes. Therefore, if you prefer sweeter cakes, after baking you can drizzle it with a glaze made from melted milk chocolate.
How to make a simple chocolate glaze for bundt cake?
I heat a little heavy cream in a saucepan – for milk chocolate, 50-75 ml of cream per 100 g of chocolate is enough. When the cream is heated, I add broken chocolate to it and stir until it melts. I cool the glaze slightly and finally pour it over the cake.
The pumpkin chocolate bundt cake can also be made with more sugar – you can add 100 g (which is half a cup) more sugar – just remember that its caloric content will change then.
My husband took this bundt cake to one of his runs – Bison Ultra-Trail and they enjoyed it with his colleagues before the start. I think it gave them a lot of energy for this exhausting run.
If you also run or play another sport, give yourself such a dose of delicious calories in the form of my bundt cake :)
I also highly recommend my other pumpkin baked goods – you’ll find plenty of delicious and interesting ideas here.
