Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
3. Step 3: Add 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup vegetable oil, 3 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined and smooth.
4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup brown sugar with 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon.
5. Step 5: Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter, then pour the remaining batter on top. Using a knife, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
6. Step 6: Bake for 55-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
