Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup butter flavor shortening
4 eggs
16 ounces pumpkin
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 cups cake flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon orange zest
4 teaspoons orange juice
additional chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease a 12 cup Bundt pan.
  • Combine brown sugar and shortening in large bowl.
  • Beat on low speed until creamy.
  • Add the eggs one a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the pumpkin and water.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and the salt in a medium bowl.
  • Add to the pumpkin mixture, beating at low speed until well blended.
  • Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.
  • Fold in the 1/2 cup of walnuts and raisins.
  • Spoon into the pan.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes.
  • Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
  • Place cake on serving plate.
  • For the glaze, combine the sugar, orange peel and orange juice.
  • Stir with a spoon until well blended.
  • Spoon over top of the cake, letting the excess glaze run down the sides of the cake.
  • Sprinkle with additional nuts before the glaze hardens.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a small sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin for the best flavor. Field pumpkins are too watery and stringy for baking.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the glaze while the cake is baking: This will give the glaze time to cool slightly before you pour it over the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin cake with orange glaze is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the orange glaze adds a bright and tangy flavor. Follow the tips above to make sure your cake turns out perfect.
