Common Questions

Can I make this soup vegetarian or vegan?

Yes! Simply omit the ham and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can add extra seasonings or smoked paprika for depth of flavor.

Do I need to blend the soup after cooking?

The split peas naturally break down and create a creamy consistency, so blending isn’t necessary. However, if you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend part or all of the soup with an immersion blender.

Can I add potatoes or other vegetables?

Absolutely! Potatoes, sweet potatoes, or bell peppers make great additions. Chop them into small pieces to ensure they cook through.

What goes well with Crockpot Split Pea Soup?

Serve it with crusty bread, croutons, or a side salad. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley, or add a drizzle of cream for added richness.

Moist Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Moist Pumpkin Bundt Cake

This Moist Pumpkin Bundt Cake is easy, deliciously soft, and so wonderfully moist. It’s the perfect fall dessert!

Gather all Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Whole Wheat Flour: Fiber-rich goodness for your digestive health. Whole wheat flour brings a nutty flavor and a hearty texture to the cake. Beyond taste, it’s a great source of fiber, promoting digestive health and providing a slower release of energy to keep you feeling satisfied for longer. I like to use the King Arthur, 100% Organic White Whole Wheat Flour or Sunrise Flour Mill Organic Heritage Whole Wheat Flour.
  • Buttermilk: is a powerhouse of essential nutrients and is a low-fat source of protein. Additionally, buttermilk is rich in vitamins like B12, riboflavin, and calcium, which are vital for maintaining healthy bones, promoting energy production, and supporting the nervous system. Buttermilk: Are there Health Benefits?
  • Pumpkin is an incredibly healthy vegetable that’s rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Health Benefits of Pumpkin.
  • Maple syrup, oil, eggs, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Moist Pumpkin Bundt Cake Ingredients

How to make this Recipe:

  1. Combine wet ingredients

    Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 10 or 12 cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine maple syrup, buttermilk, oil, pumpkin puree, and eggs.

  2. Combine dry ingredients

    Then, in another bowl, combine all dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients

    Add flour mixture to the batter 1/3 at a time, letting the flour incorporate with each addition and continue mixing just until well combined.

  4. Bake

    Pour the batter into the bundt mold then bake for 50-55 minutes.

  5. Cool

    Leave the cake to cool completely.

  6. Glaze and enjoy

    Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of milk. Add a little bit more milk, a few drops at a time, just until the glaze reaches a thick but runny texture. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake. Slice and serve.

Common Questions

Can I add other ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts?

Absolutely! Chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans, or even a cream cheese filling make great additions to pumpkin bundt cake. Fold them in gently at the end of mixing to ensure they’re evenly distributed.

Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?

Yes! Roast or steam fresh pumpkin, then puree it until smooth. Keep in mind that fresh pumpkin can have more moisture than canned, so you may need to adjust the flour slightly or strain the puree if it seems watery.

How do I store pumpkin bundt cake leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. To keep it extra moist, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap. You can also freeze slices for up to 3 months; just thaw before serving.

Health Benefits of Carrots and Potatoes

Air Fryer Carrots and Potatoes: Frequently Asked Questions

Should I peel the carrots and potatoes before air frying?

To ensure they turn out crispy, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, preheat the air fryer, and toss the veggies in a little oil. Make sure to shake the basket halfway through cooking for even crispiness.

What can I serve with air-fried carrots and potatoes?

Air-fried carrots and potatoes pair well with a variety of dishes, including roasted meats, grilled fish, or as a side to veggie burgers. You can also toss them in a salad or serve them with a dip like garlic aioli or ranch dressing.

This air fryer roasted dish makes an excellent side for any meal. The sweet and savory carrots complement the hearty, crispy roasted potatoes, creating a satisfying combination.
