Nordic Ware celebrates iconic bundt cake

(WXYZ) - Today is National Bundt Day, devoted to celebrating the iconic cake.

The annual event signifies the time just before the Thanksgiving holiday when families begin baking in earnest for their various holiday events. It also prompts us to get reacquainted with our kitchen once again, no matter how busy we are or how foreign an experience it may be.

In honor of Bundt Day, Nordic Ware is sharing a favorite recipe for a pumpkin-walnut ring. The following is adapted form Rose Levy Berenbaum's "The Cake Bible."

Pumpkin Walnut Ring 

1 1/4 cup sifted cake flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted walnuts
2 large eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup pumpkin puree

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease and flour a 6-cup Bundt pan.
In a small bowl combine the flour, soda, spices, and walnuts and whisk to blend.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oils to for 2-3 minutes or until very smooth. Add the pumpkin and beat just until smooth. Add the flour mixture and beat until completely moistened
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes and then unmold onto the rack.
