DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease Bundt pan generously with butter, dust with flour, and knock out excess flour. Set aside.
To make the cake, in a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and salt.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, pumpkin, and buttermilk.
Add olive oil-sugar mixture to bowl with dry ingredients and, using a spatula, fold batter until incorporated.
Spoon
batter into pan. Knock pan on counter 1 time to release any air bubbles. Bake
until a wooden pick or cake-tester comes out clean, about
30 minutes. Let cake cool on a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes, then invert
onto rack, removing pan, and let cool another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the
glaze, in a bowl, whisk buttermilk, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon extract,
and salt, until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm cake, then let cake cool
completely. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
