How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cake With Maple Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 4 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts and ½ cup raisins (optional).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. **Make the Maple Icing:** Melt ½ cup (1 stick) butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  10. Add 2 cups powdered sugar, ½ cup evaporated milk, and ¼ cup maple syrup. Stir constantly.
  11. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, for 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
  12. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  13. Pour the icing into a bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  14. Beat the icing with a mixer for 8-10 minutes, or until thick and creamy.
  15. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the icing over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides.
