Pumpkin Spice Buttermilk Bundt

[Ed. note: Once again, since it's Halloween, our four-pawed special-guest blogger returns.]

Okay. Hello. Marlowe here. Mom and Dad say it okay to write because I has a did last Halloween (www.moveablefeast.me/blog/mini-butterscotch-apples) and then also as well again repeated here (www.moveablefeast.me/blog/sauteed-white-beans-with-kale). Dad better give me raise of more treats or I bite him. [Ed. note: We'll talk.]

Mom say Halloween one of her favorites times of year, which I no understand because weird little people ring doorbell all night and everybody tell me to stop barking. But I guess okay since little people very nice to me and give me lots of pets and scritches. Howevers nobody let me have any of small packages that they put in their bags, maybe I need to talk to union repersentartive.

Since it Halloween, Mom and Dad dress me up. You may remember I was UPS driver last year. This year I something called Little Red Riding Hood, and also a lumberjack. Mom like Riding Hood since good story, Dad like lumberjack because he keeps singing some silly song and I no know what a Monty Python is. Also not want speculate what Dad do in spare time. [Ed. note: More treats, yes! I think we can work something out.]

Mom says to tell you this cake like "little bite of autumn on your plate," which strange since though I a dog even I know you no can put a season on dinnerware. Duh. Oh, she also say this no need frosting and what the fresh hell who are you Mom?

Besides weird little people ringing doorbell, Mom and Dad like to put on even weirder movies like Hocus Pocus, The Blair Witch Project, Shaun Of The Dead, and The Shining. Me no like when that guy puts face through the door.

Mom and Dad say wish you all Happy Halloween, and Dad say please click ads on right-hand side because that give me more minty treats that good for teeth.

Thank you for reading and hope you like bundt cake!

PS: Last year Mom also went crazy with pumpkin motif and this quote-unquote epic pumpkin bread (www.moveablefeast.me/blog/epic-pumpkin-bread).

PPS: We no just stuffing ourselves with pumpkin stuff and candy, also try be healthy with this butternut squash chickpea stew, which Dad should have more of because he taking shape of school bus I always afraid of (www.moveablefeast.me/blog/butternut-squash-chickpea-moroccan-stew).

Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• ¾ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 ⅓ cups canned pumpkin
• ¾ cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature [Ed. note: God yes it's back ROOM TEMPERATURE]
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 3 eggs (large)​
• Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Spray bundt pan (10-11 cup capacity) with Baker's Joy (or butter and flour). Set aside.
3. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Mix pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla in another bowl. Set aside.
5. In the bowl of a stand-alone mixer (I used a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugars until fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs and beat until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add flour and pumpkin mixtures, alternating (beginning and ending with flour mixture).
6. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Bake for about 45 minutes (check at 40 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (crumbs on the toothpick are okay since it should be moist).
7. Cool about 10 minutes and remove from pan. Let cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
