Yield:
1 (9-inch) Bundt cake

Ingredients

  • 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour

  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 ½ tablespoons pumpkin pie spice

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ¾ cup butter

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • cup applesauce

  • 3 eggs, beaten

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin

  • 1 cup brown sugar

  • ½ cup butter

  • cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch Bundt pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and baking soda. In a large bowl, beat together 3/4 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, applesauce, and eggs. Mix in 1/2 cup heavy cream and pumpkin. Stir into flour mixture just until blended. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.

  3. Bake 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan over a wire rack. Invert cake onto a serving plate.

  4. Place brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/3 cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil while stirring to blend until smooth. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Whisk in confectioner's sugar and drizzle over cake immediately.
