Why Use Tegner Mill Flour?
The foundation of this recipe is our Tegner Mill All-Purpose Flour, made from carefully selected heritage grains grown locally. Unlike standard store-bought flours, our stone-milled flour retains the wheat’s natural flavor and nutrition. It creates a tender crumb that makes this cake—and all your baking—stand out.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Pumpkin Bundt Cake
-
Use fresh pumpkin purée or high-quality canned pumpkin for the best flavor.
-
For an extra festive touch, drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze instead of sprinkling powdered sugar.
-
Add more spices if you prefer a bolder flavor—pumpkin pie spice works beautifully here!
-
Make mini loaves or muffins for easy portioning and quick baking.
