Ingredients

1 cup(s) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
3 cup(s) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the pan
5 teaspoon(s) pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
3/4 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1/2 teaspoon(s) kosher salt
1-1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
3 large eggs
15 ounce can pumpkin puree
1/2 cup(s) whole milk
1/4 cup(s) molasses
1-1/4 cup(s) confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoon(s) fresh lemon juice

 

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350° F. Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the pumpkin puree, milk, and molasses (the mixture may appear curdled). Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined (do not overmix).
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cake. Let set before serving.
