Pumpkin Yogurt Cake

Pumpkin Yogurt Cake is the result of a perfect combination of pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt. Wonderfully moist and light with an amazing colour. This will be your ultimate cake in fall. Pumpkin Yogurt Cake is another recipe that shows my pumpkin obsession these days. And I can honestly say that I don’t have any problem with my pumpkin craziness since I do love baking with it. Everything started after I made Fresh Pumpkin Puree. It is so good and I love its flavour and vibrant colour so much that I can put it in anything you can imagine. I’ve made pancakes, cornbread, cookies and chocolate chip bread using this puree so far. And I made a classic yogurt cake with a pumpkin twist this time. The next thing I’m planning to try is pumpkin yogurt muffins. Will definitely share it here if I’m successful. I served this Pumpkin Yogurt Cake with a caramel glaze, which perfectly matches with the pumpkin flavour. For me there are some ingredients that go wonderfully with pumpkin. And caramel is one of these. The others are chocolate and spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and nutmeg. So I’m mostly pairing pumpkin with these if I’m making something sweet. Have you tried anything savoury with pumpkin? If you haven’t yet, check out my Roasted Chicken with Pumpkin and vegetarian Pumpkin Stew with Lentils and Chickpeas to have an idea. Back to this divine pumpkin bundt cake, the first word I can use to describe it is soft, fluffy or airy. Well, you get the idea, almost melting in your mouth. And it is super moist due to the pumpkin puree and Greek yogurt inside it. I’d love to thank Chungah of Damn Delicious for her recipe, Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Pumpkin Glaze. This is absolutely a wonderful fall cake, so good that I want to make it any time of the year; just as she suggests. I just slightly changed her recipe. Firstly, I reduced the amount of sugar, if you like your cake very sweet, use ¾ cup sugar. Also, I excluded the pumpkin glaze from her recipe and I simply used caramel sauce instead. You can use whatever glaze you like. If you aren’t sure what to make as a dessert for Thanksgiving, try this Pumpkin Yogurt Cake and watch how it is gone in seconds.
