The first thing I baked in my Friday Pumpkin Madness was this pumpkin bundt cake. This recipe is adapted from a tasteofhome.com’s Moist Pumpkin Bundt Cake.

VERDICT: While the cake tasted awesome, it wasn’t very moist. I mean it was and it wasn’t. It wasn’t moist like a brownie, it was a drier moist that yielded a lot of crumbing. Overall, very good. Easy to make and store Middle son LOVED this as did the youngest who asked that I make it for his birthday cake (which he wants designed in Umizoomi)
