  3. 1 ¼ cups pumpkin, canned
  4. ½ cup granulated sugar
  5. 1 ¾ cups white all purpose flour
  6. 1 tsp vanilla extract

  3. 1 tsp salt
  4. 1 tbsp lemon juice
  5. 3 tbsp milk, add more if needed
Instructions:
 
  1. Grease/flour bunt pan and preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. To make pumpkin batter, beat butter and eggs until light and fluffy. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix until combined. Add a few drops of food coloring to make the batter more orange.

  4. Use a knife to gently swirl the cake batters together and create a marbled effect. Bake for about 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Remove from oven and let the cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
To Make Cream Cheese Frosting
 
  1. Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese on high until light and fluffy. Slowly add in sugar and keep beating until combined. Add in salt, lemon juice and milk, and mix on low until frosting comes out smooth without clumps. If glaze is too thick to pour, add in more milk 1 tbsp at a time.

Moist and Soft Apple Chunk Banana Bunt Cake

2 apple banana bread bundt cake recipe easy cinnamon better baking bible blog no eggs no milk dairy free lactose cheap budget recipe bundt pan blog

A bunt cake that melts in your mouth! Inspired by the fall season just around the corner, this apple chunk banana bunt cake is a spin-off of regular banana bread. I am a huge fan of banana bread and so is everyone in my family – we’ve tried all the combinations you could think of except spicing it up with apples! All I basically did was follow my classic banana bread recipe I posted here and added one large chopped apple to the mix (I also omitted the chocolate). The apples made the bread super duper moist and down right addicting. Baking it in a bunt pan and sprinkling powdered sugar on-top gave it a little more oomph. Here’s the recipe once again: 

Quick tip: Because of the apples, I baked my bread about 10-15 minutes longer than usual because it was really moist. I also covered the top with tin foil near the end to give the insides time to bake and to prevent the top edges from burning!
