Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan with gluten-free flour or use a non-stick baking spray for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients, then set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Oven times may vary, so start checking for doneness at the 45-minute mark.
Once baked, remove the bundt pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Optional: Once the cake has cooled, dust it with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Slice and serve your Gluten Free Pumpkin Applesauce Bundt Cake. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
