Pumpkin cream cheese bundt cake is made with ingredients that you probably have in your kitchen right this minute.

I bought a bundt cake pan a few years back thinking that I would use it a lot. But the fact is that a bundt cake is too much cake for Mike and me. So I reserve the bundt cakes for when we have a family gathering. That was the case with this pumpkin cream cheese bundt cake; it was served as part of a birthday celebration.

As I have mentioned before we make a birthday dinner for each our kids and kid-in-laws when they have a birthday and they get to choose the menu. It was our daughter-in-laws birthday when I made this cake. She actually requested a chocolate peanut butter pie for her birthday dessert, but I have one person that is not a peanut butter fan. So I took advantage of the day and made this bundt cake.

Even though chocolate peanut butter pie was the birthday dessert, the bundt cake was enjoyed by the family. We are definitely a family that loves their pumpkin desserts.

The pumpkin cream cheese bundt cake is one of those cakes that are super moist and if there are any leftovers it gets moister as time goes by. And of course, it has all of my favorite fall spices like cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

I topped this cake with a Penuche frosting, but a cream cheese frosting would be equally as yummy.
