This Pumpkin Bundt® Cake with a Brown Butter Icing & a cup of coffee make the perfect fall or anytime treat!

Pumpkin is one of my favorite flavors!  I don’t need cool, crisp days and the glittering array of the leaves changing colors to make me crave all things pumpkin – but it sure does help.

Fall marks the beginning of the nonstop baking season for me.  County fairs, apple everything, almost daily cravings for fresh baked bread – all of a sudden I realize I’m running out of flour on a weekly basis.  Hello fall.

Pumpkin, though.  Nothing quite tastes like the fall season as pumpkin.

As much as I love pumpkin, for some reason I usually default to baking pumpkin breads.  I really do enjoy pumpkin bread, but our favorite fall time bounty deserves more than bread after bread recipe.

It’s been a few years since I baked this Pumpkin Cake for myself.  I’ve baked it for charity dinners & bake sales – but haven’t sat down and enjoyed a slice (or two) for myself in a long time.  Oh, how I’ve missed it.

This cake is moist and rich with the perfect amount of pumpkin flavor & spices.  A simple brown butter icing takes it absolutely over the top.

This fall favorite dessert pairs perfectly with a hot cup of coffee.  Hold the sugar, please, I’m sweet enough.  What I do need is good half & half.  Like new Land O Lakes® Buttercream Style Half & Half.  The simple goodness of Half & Half made with an extra rich blend of real milk and cream – the way Half & Half should be.

I’ve fallen in love with new Land O Lakes® Buttercream Style Half & Half.  It’s extra rich blend of real milk and cream make for a simple indulgence you will love too!  It makes my morning coffee (and the numerous cups to follow) extra rich and creamy.  No added sweeteners, no funny business – just a rich, gourmet half & half for the perfect cup of coffee you deserve.

I baked this cake twice in one week.  Both times it was gone within a day.  Good company, good cake and good coffee – they make a wonderful combination!

Happy fall everyone!
