Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the pumpkin mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

For the white chocolate ribbon, melt the white chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and creamy. Let cool slightly.

Step 7

Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared bundt pan. Spoon half of the melted white chocolate mixture evenly over the batter, swirling it gently with a knife. Pour the rest of the pumpkin batter over this, and again spoon and swirl the remaining white chocolate mixture.

Step 8

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cake cools, make the maple glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add a tiny splash of milk if the glaze is too thick.

Step 10

Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the maple glaze generously over the top. Let the glaze set for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
