No I am serious.

How to make Pumpkin Bundt Cake:
You will be shocked to hear how easy these mini bundt cakes are to put together. If you can open a can of pumpkin, you can nail this recipe!
- No, really. You don't need any special skills here. One bowl, no mixers, mix wet ingredients together, fold in dry, pour and bake!
- Also all the ingredients are kitchen staples. Like flour, oil, brown sugar, egg, spices and vanilla.
- My cream cheese frosting uses a little maple extract, which you can replace with vanilla. But better get a bottle of maple this fall. You won't regret it!
This recipe makes three small or two good sized mini pumpkin bundt cakes. Though you can double or triple the recipe at ease to make 4 or 6 bundt cakes. Just remember to adjust spices and extracts to your liking.
Simply taste some batter. You will get a fair idea of how your cake is gonna taste after baking. This tip holds true for all cakes, cupcakes, cookies, bars, pie fillings and anything that you bake!
