  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon clove
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 ¾ cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ can pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter melted

Instructions

For the Pumpkin Apple Spice Bundt Cake
