What You’ll Need
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this simple bundt cake recipe at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full instructions and details.
- yellow cake mix– I use either Pillsbury or Duncan Hines for my cake mixes.
- can of pure pumpkin puree– When shopping for pumpkin puree, make sure you don’t get pumpkin pie filling. Can should say just pure pumpkin puree.
- large eggs– I use large eggs in all of my baking recipes for consistency.
- canola oil– Canola oil is part of the wet ingredients. Helps keep cake soft and moist.
- Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix– Find the pudding mixes in the baking section of the grocery store, look for the 3.4 ounce box for this recipe.
- light or dark brown sugar– When shopping for brown sugar, you’ll see light brown sugar and dark brown sugar available. I like the richness of the dark brown sugar for this cake.
- ground cinnamon– Ground cinnamon is the perfect spice with pumpkin desserts.
- powdered sugar– Also referred to as confectioners sugar, this sugar is used to make the icing.
- heavy cream- You’ll use the heavy cream to help make the creamy icing for the cake.
How To Make Pumpkin Bundt Cake
Preheat Oven and Prepare Bundt Cake Pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a bundt cake pan with cooking spray.
Prepare Cake. Place cake mix, large eggs, pumpkin puree, canola oil, milk and pudding mix into a large bowl. Use an electric mixer or mix by hand until cake batter is well combined.
Pour Half of Cake Into Bundt Pan. Pour half of cake batter into prepared bundt cake pan, spreading evenly.
Prepare Cinnamon Roll Layer. Place brown sugar and cinnamon into a medium bowl, mixing to combine. Spoon brown sugar mixture over cake batter in bundt cake pan. Pour or spoon remaining cake batter over filling layer.
Bake. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until cake is baked through. Test with toothpick if needed. Remove cake and let cool completely. Once cooled, carefully flip cake over onto cake stand.
Flip Bundt Onto Cake Stand. Once bundt cake has cooled, carefully flip over onto the cake stand of your choice. If you’re shopping for cake stands, check out TJ Maxx Home Goods. I find really unique pieces at a great price there.
Prepare Icing. Prepare your icing and slowly drizzle over the top of your cooled cake.
Recipe Tips For Success
- Make sure your bundt cake pan is properly greased so you don’t get any sticking when trying to flip.
- Cool cake before flipping. You do not want to flip a warm cake.
- Make sure cake is cooled before icing.
How To Serve
Serve your Cinnamon Roll Bundt Cake at any occasion where cake is needed. Such a great cake for Holidays, Sunday Dinner Dessert, Thanksgiving and even Christmas. Your guests will love it. Slice cake into desired slices. It’s delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side as well.
Leftovers
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. It’s delicious chilled or you can warm in the microwave if desired too.

I made this last night with my daughter and her friend. We only used half of the brown sugar cinnamon filling and thought it was plenty. We loved this! I’ve already shared this recipe with family.
What size box of instant vanilla pudding?
3.4 ounce box
I had to throw out this cake because I bought the big box of pudding before you replied regarding what size box. If you just put the size in your recipe, it might save someone else from making the same mistake I did
My sincere apology.
I made this for my sister’s birthday today. It was a delicious moist cake. I did a cream cheese glaze. ! Thank you
Hi! I’m curious what the cake part tastes like by itself–if I didn’t do the filling layer. I like to make cakes to have with coffee that are fairly plain and not sweet.
What size box of instant vanilla pudding 3.4 oz or 5.1 oz? what size yellow cake box mix 9oz or 15.25oz?
3.4 ounce box pudding, and 15.25 oz box of cake mix
Looks great what size pudding mix ? . Looking forward to making this cake .
Hi Dee, the 3.4 ouce box
