This bundt cake was a real treat to bake & eat. I had not tried making a gluten-free bundt cake before, but this one was moist & delicious! It works beautifully for any fall meal, even Thanksgiving.

I have some pumpkin muffins baking in the oven right now… Your cake looks so moist and delicious. I will have to come back to your recipe next time I bake with pumpkin.
Jeanine says
Thanks, Mom!
Alexa, I need to do more baking with pumpkin yet too, but I’m just not sure what. I’m really enjoying the moisture that it gives to GF baking though, and I love the spice combinations used in pumpkin baking too. 🙂

Quick question, is there any salt in this? Am I blind and just not seeing it?
Jeanine Friesen says
No, but if I made it today, I’d probably add 1/2 tsp.

Hi, Jeannie,
No I’m not celiac or is my husband, but as we get older certain foods have gotten harder to digest. The result is that Terry is gluten intolerant! I’m planning to make this cake for our Bible study group Tuesday evening. I was wondering why the cocoa powder? Is it just for color, or does it add a certain amount of flavor to the cake? Just curious.
Thank you.
Katie

Hi Katie! I really wish I could tell you. This recipe is such an old one, I haven’t baked it in a long time. I really have no clue, except it was probably that way in the recipe that I converted this from. Sorry, not much help there.
