Pumpkin and Walnut Bundt Cake

October 3, 2017 By stemsandforks 7 Comments

We are definitely not a turkey family. Well, I personally enjoy a fresh roasted turkey but my husband and kids don’t. Pumpkin however is always a hit with all the Binons. 

This thanksgiving (Canadian) pumpkin is definitely on the menu. I’m thinking of some creative ways of using this wonderful squash asides from a cake or pie. Dumplings…soup…maybe even pumpkin steak? Ha! I’m just thinking out loud right now. Of course if you have any ideas…do let me know. As my daughter always points out…I like “weird” recipes. 

That said, this pumpkin bundt will definitely be gracing our table this year. It’s been approved by Moineau as being simple and “unweird”. (Is there such a word?) The olive oil of course makes all the difference. So uber moist and and the toasted walnuts add that wonderful nutty crunch. 

It’s not too difficult to make. I’ve purposely made this recipe to use canned pumpkin pie filling to lessen the stress of thanksgiving cooking madness. 

Bon app!

    Okay, please grab a piece of paper and pen. Are you ready? 1. Pumpkin (Butternut squash) risotto. 2. Pumpkin pasta, regular or baked. 3. Pumpkin pizza. 4. Pumpkin gnocchi (That would be my personal favorite) 5. Savory pumpkin galette (knowing your love for galettes) 6. Ice cream. 7. Pumpkin Nanaimo bars. 8. Pumpkin pancakes/waffles/french toasts, preferably with maple whiskey sauce. Okay, I think this is enough for a start:) This Bundt cake sounds and looks amazing, and the pictures, as always, are gorgeous!
