This easy recipe for gluten free pumpkin spice bundt cake is made from scratch with a yummy glaze. It's so easy to make the best, moist homemade bundt cake you won't go back to box mixes!
The molasses in this cake gives it an extra pumpkin spice flavor. If you aren't a fan of molasses you can omit it without altering the texture of the cake. You may want to add a bit more spices to make up for the molasses.
I love this cake with my maple glaze, but you could also just sprinkle on powdered sugar or make a simple confectioner sugar, milk and vanilla glaze to pour over top. This cake is great with coffee for brunch or dessert after dinner.
How do I make a gluten free pumpkin cake?
The key to a really great gluten free pumpkin cake is the best ingredients. To get a really good pumpkin spice flavor you need pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice.
I like Libby's or Thrive Market pumpkin puree. It is also really easy to roast your own sugar pumpkin and make puree in your food processor. My favorite pumpkin pie spice is from Simply Organic.
If you aren't sure what you are going to do with an entire jar of pumpkin pie spice, I also love to put their spice in my coffee and oatmeal. Anything you want to have that delicious pumpkin spice flavor can be achieved with pumpkin pie spice.

Can I use a regular cake pan rather than a bundt cake pan?
Yes! I'm a huge fan of the look of a bundt cake, but you can definitely make bundt cake recipes in regular cake pans or a 9x13 baking pan.
I usually stick to a bundt pan because pouring the frosting over is so much easier than frosting a layer cake. But, if you don't have a bundt pan don't let that stop you from making this cake!
Whatever pan you choose to use be sure to grease it with butter or coconut oil so your cake comes out of the pan easily. You can use the suggested maple glaze or another frosting of your choice.
