Let’s Make It Together

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the vegetable oil, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix gently until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 40 minutes, then turn it out onto a plate.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, maple syrup, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let set before serving.

Chocolate Surprise: Add a half-cup of chocolate chips to the batter for a rich, indulgent twist on this classic fall dessert.
Zesty Orange: Incorporate the zest of one orange into the batter to brighten up the flavors with a refreshing zing.
Creamy Frosting: Instead of a glaze, try a cream cheese frosting topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a rich finish.
