Baking season is officially here which also means it is close to the holidays! Finding healthy baking recipes can be hard sometimes especially when many holidays are built around eating! I wanted to make bake a cake but with super processed ingredients and that was somewhat healthier, which is where the inspiration came from for by Gingerbread Bundt Cake with Pumpkin!
It’s actually REALLY good and can be made for the holidays or eaten for breakfast, a snack, or dessert!

What Do I Need To Make a Gingerbread Bundt Cake
Butter – make sure you allow for the time it takes to soften. Keep reading to see how to soften up butter when you don’t have much time!
Applesauce – we are using unsweetened; be sure you check the labels when you are at the store. Applesauce can often have tons of added sugar that isn’t necessary.
Stevia – for this recipe we are using the powdered Stevia which is less sweet than the Stevia drops, so the measurement is a cup for cup when comparing to sugar
Maple Syrup – one of our favorites is Lakanto Flavored Maple Syrup!
Flour – self-rising
Ginger – you will need some fresh ginger and ground ginger
Pumpkin puree – purchase the store-bought kind or read here to learn how to make homemade pumpkin puree!
Milk – you can use almond or coconut milk
Other ingredients: cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, vanilla, eggs, salt
Caramel Drizzle Ingredients
This is totally optional but is super delicious! You can also use this caramel recipe for drizzle on other cakes, breads, and even ice cream!
- Pecans
- Butter
- Light whipping cream
- Lakanto Flavored maple syrup
How To Soften Butter Fast
If you are running short on time and forgot to softened your butter, don’t worry! We can fix that! Just add some water to a microwave-safe bowl and cook for about 5-7 minutes, your water should be boiling.
Carefully transfer the boiling water to a glass cup and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then stand your butter on the counter, dump the water, and place the glass over the butter upside down!
How To Freeze Gingerbread Bundt Cake
Once your cake has completely cooled, wrap in saran wrap and place in a plastic freezer bag. Store in slices if you don’t plan on eating the whole cake at one time!
Tips for Storing
We recommend storing in an airtight container, if it’s left out if will become dry rather quickly!
