Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1.5 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.75 cup maple syrup
• 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup butter, melted and cooled

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice together in a large bowl. Set aside.

Step 2

Whisk pumpkin, brown sugar, and butter together in a separate large bowl until combined. Whisk in sour cream until no lumps remain. Add maple syrup, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract and whisk until completely incorporated.

Step 3

Add flour mixture gradually to pumpkin mixture until just combined, most lumps are gone, and batter is thick, being careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. Mix in sugar, egg, and vanilla extract at medium-high speed until thoroughly combined and filling mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Pour 1/2 of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon filling over batter, trying to avoid touching the side or center column of the pan. Pour remaining cake batter over filling and smooth gently using a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out fairly clean, with only a few moist crumbs, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cake cool for about 30 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt).
