This pumpkin-cream cheese Bundt cake is more akin to a maple-pumpkin bread with a cream cheese center than a traditional cake, but it's delicious nonetheless. It's not overly sweet and goes great with a cup of coffee. It also seems to taste better the next day, as the spices seem to develop a little more flavor the longer the cake sits.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Tap the pan firmly a few times, then shake it gently to loosen the cake. Place a wire rack over the pan and invert to release cake onto the rack. Let cool completely before serving.

Gold Rush
A Gold Rush cocktail is a riff on a whiskey sour using honey syrup instead of simple syrup. The honey syrup is commonly made with a 1:1 ratio of honey to water, but I find that a 2:1 ratio helps to better balance out the lemon juice and bourbon. This makes enough syrup for 4 cocktails. Serve over a large ice sphere.
