Tips and variations for making this Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Bundt Cake Recipe:
● You can make this in a loaf pan if you like. Watch the times for doneness as they may differ from that of a bundt cake.
● I have only used a stand electric mixer, not a hand mixer. YMMV as to whether or not that will work as well for this recipe.
● Learn how to how to make your own vanilla! It is cheaper than store-bought.
● For my UK and Australian friends: confectioners’ sugar is icing sugar (powdered sugar, 10x).
● Allow your cake to cool on a cooling rack before servings, especially if you plan on frosting the cake. Always frost a cool cake, not a warm cake as warmth may cause your frosting to melt.
● The drizzle at the end is optional. Another choice, especially if you decided to make this in a loaf pan, is to make and use this fabulous cream cheese frosting recipe! Or, you can eat this pumpkin cream cheese swirl bundt cake plain.
