Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan with gluten-free flour or use a non-stick baking spray for easy release.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients, then set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Oven times may vary, so start checking for doneness at the 45-minute mark.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the bundt pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.

Step 8

Optional: Once the cake has cooled, dust it with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Step 9

Slice and serve your Gluten Free Pumpkin Applesauce Bundt Cake. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
