Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease and flour the bundt cake pan, ensuring that all surfaces and crevices have been oiled. Set Aside.
Cream Cheese Filling
Put all ingredients for the cream cheese filling into a high-speed blender or food processor. Mix thoroughly till the silken tofu is quite smooth. Set aside.
Flax Egg
In another mixing bowl, make the flax egg with hot water and let sit for about five minutes. I do this while I am getting the dry ingredients together. As it sits, it will begin to gell up a bit.
Pumpkin Cake Dry Ingredients
In a third mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients. Stir well fully incorporate all ingredients and to break up the chunks of brown sugar.
Pumpkin Cake -Wet Ingredients
To the bowl with the flax egg mixture, add in all the wet ingredients. Mix well for about 2 minutes with an electric mixer till all are mixed.
Add the mixed flour mixture, about one half at a time and mix well with an electric mixer - for about 3-5 minutes.
Baking
Into the prepared bundt pan, pour about 1/2 of the pumpkin cake mixture. Smooth around with the back of a spoon so that it is even.
Spoon the cream cheese filling on top, trying to keep it in the center - not touching the sides of the pan.
Spoon the remaining pumpkin mix cake mixture on top and spread to cover the cream cheese.
Place bundt filled bundt cake pan on a baking sheet and put in the oven. Cook for a total of 50-60 minutes.
Check after 50 minutes. The cake should spring back with lightly touched and a toothpick when inserted should come out clean.
Set on a rack and allow to cool for about 10 minutes until you can handle the pan. Carefully turn onto a cooling rack to finish cooking.
Icing
When the cake has just about cooled, mix together the icing ingredients. Pour onto the top of the cake or use a pastry bag to place the icing where you want it. Add sprinkles if desired.
