Ingredients

    Cake:
    3 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus a little extra to dust pan
    2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    1 tsp ground ginger
    1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
    1/4 tsp ground cloves
    1 1/4 cups canned 100% pure pumpkin (like Libby's)
    1 cup buttermilk
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus a little extra to grease pan
    3/4 cup granulated sugar
    3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
    4 large eggs, at room temperature

    Glaze:
    1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
    1 tbsp maple syrup
    1-2 tbsp milk
    1/4 cup chopped walnuts, lightly toasted

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 1/2 inch tube or Bundt pan, and tap out the excess flour.

In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices; in another bowl, combine the pumpkin, buttermilk and vanilla.

Place 1 cup butter and sugars into the large bowl of a stand or electric mixer; beat 2-3 minutes at medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. With the mixer at low speed, alternately add the flour and pumpkin mixtures, starting and ending with dry ingredients; beat for a few seconds.

Turn batter into prepared pan; bake 60-65 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the cake comes out dry. Cool cake in pan on a rack for 15 minutes; remove cake from pan and cool completely. Transfer to a serving plate.

To make glaze, mix confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and milk in a bowl until smooth and slightly runny. Drizzle over the cake.

Toast the walnuts in 1 tbsp salted butter and 2 tbsp unpacked brown sugar. Sprinkle over glazed cake.
