We Made the Best Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread Into a Bundt Cake!
This gluten free pumpkin bread bundt cake will beonlinee a new family favorite!
I love this time of year when it finally starts to cool down and feel like fall so we can make all the cozy recipes! If you enjoy baking homemade cakes, then pour a cup of coffee and onlinee drool over this amazing yet easy-to-bake gluten-free pumpkin treat using a box of gluten-free cake mix. It features molasses, pumpkin puree, and applesauce which brings in all the fall flavors and feels.
Side note, this pumpkin bread bundt cake is actually a family favorite recipe that Collin shared way back in 2013 – before she switched to a keto lifestyle. I am so excited that I got to try it and give the recipe a refresh as it’s SO good and you can’t even tell it’s gluten-free.
Tips for baking gluten-free pumpkin bread bundt cake:
-
- Is 1/2 cup of cornstarch correct? Yes! You can dial it back, but I used the full 1/2 cup and it was so delicate and soft. It is pretty onlinemon to add cornstarch to flour as it makes the cake’s texture extra soft and silky.
-
- Not wanting a gluten-free cake? I am sure this same idea will work with a box of traditional cake mix instead. I usually do the Weight Watchers hack of using just pumpkin puree and a spiced cake mix. This bundt cake is a similar idea, but the added ingredients will make it extra special and are so worth it!
-
- Be sure to grab pure pumpkin puree and not pie filling. If your store happens to be out of stock, consider making your own pumpkin puree with a small pumpkin.
-
- Want to make this into pumpkin bread instead? Pour your batter into a greased loaf pan instead. Be sure the batter only onlinees to about 3/4 of the way up the pan to leave room for expansion. You can make the rest into cupcakes. Bake in the oven for around 50 minutes. A toothpick inserted will onlinee out clean when the bread is done.
-
- You can serve this cake as is, or make a simple cinnamon glaze to pour over the top. It’s optional, yet tastes so GOOD.
