Equipment
- 10-cup bundt pan
Ingredients
For the bundt cake:
- 3/4 Cup salted butter melted
- 1 3/4 Cup packed brown sugar
- 2 Cups canned pumpkin
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 Cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 Cup gluten free 1-1 flour mix with xanthan gum in it (if your mix does not contain xanthan gum, add 3/4 tsp of it now)
- 1 Cup blanched almond flour
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1 1/2 Cups chocolate chips
For the ganache:
- 1/2 Cup heavy cream
- 4 oz good quality dark chocolate chopped
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit, and carefully grease the inside of a 10-cup bundt pan with soft (but not melted) salted butter, then set aside. Then, make the cake batter! In a large bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter, brown sugar, canned pumpkin, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the flour mix and almond flour and stir to combine. Lastly, add in the baking powder, salt, and all of the spices and stir everything to combine. Add in the chocolate chips and stir to combine, then spoon the batter into the prepared bundt and and smooth the top. Bake for 70-80 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the bundt comes out clean. Let cool nearly completely until turning out onto a plate or cake stand.
- While cake is cooling, make the ganache. Heat cream in a microwave-safe bowl, in the microwave, for 45 seconds to one minute (do not let it foam over). Dump the dark chocolate pieces into the hot cream until submerged and let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir with a spoon until creamy and silky (it will take a while to smooth out - if it isn't melting, heat cream + chocolate in microwave for an extra 15 seconds). Once cake is turned out onto a cake stand, drizzle the ganache over the bundt and then serve!
