Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Thanksgiving Bundt Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch Bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
- Finely chop the fresh apple, halve or coarsely chop the cranberries, and chop the pecans.
- In a stand mixer, combine the softened butter with granulated and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Then add the vanilla extract and beat on low until combined.
- Gently mix in the pumpkin puree and chopped apple until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet batter, mixing on low until just combined.
- Fold in the halved cranberries and chopped pecans until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, checking for doneness with a knife.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack.
- For optional icing, whisk together maple syrup and powdered sugar until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
