How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cake With Maple Icing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 4 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well combined.
- 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.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts and ½ cup raisins (optional).
- 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.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Make the Maple Icing:** Melt ½ cup (1 stick) butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups powdered sugar, ½ cup evaporated milk, and ¼ cup maple syrup. Stir constantly.
- Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, for 6 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the icing into a bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Beat the icing with a mixer for 8-10 minutes, or until thick and creamy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the icing over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides.
