Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar lightly packed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
• 3 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ginger
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1/8 tsp ground cloves
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
• Cheesecake Filling:
• 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cans icing (I suggest cream cheese cause yum)
• Orange food coloring
• Pretzel twists
• Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, then butter and flour mini bundt pans. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the sugars, butter, and oil. Add the yogurt and stir to combine.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating each egg until fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients, then combine with the sugar/butter mixture in batches, alternating with the pumpkin puree, until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on high speed until no more lumps appear. Add in the sugar and vanilla and beat until combined.
6. Spoon a small layer of cake batter into each bundt mold, followed by a thin strip of the cheesecake mixture. Add a thicker, final layer of cake batter until each mold is around 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest portion comes out clean. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
7. To assemble, cut the rounded bottoms of each bundt cake off. Add a dollop of icing and sandwich two cakes together. Gently heat the second tub of icing for 10-15 seconds until melted but thick, then color with the orange food coloring to your preferred shade. Using a spoon, drizzle the icing over each sandwiched pumpkin, then let set for a few minutes. Insert a pretzel twist in the center of each pumpkin to complete the look, or add sprinkles for fun variety!
