Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Bundt Cake Recipe Notes:
● You can make this in a loaf pan if you like. Watch the times for doneness as they may differ from that of a bundt cake.
● Learn how to make your own vanilla! It is cheaper than store bought.
● The drizzle at the end is optional. Another choice, especially if you decided to make this in a loaf pan, is to make and use this fabulous cream cheese frosting recipe! Or, you can eat this pumpkin cream cheese swirl bundt cake plain.
● For my UK and Australian friends: confectioners sugar is icing sugar (powdered sugar, 10x).
