A deliciously moist and flavorful pumpkin cake perfect for fall gatherings or anytime you crave a spiced treat.

Ingredients

Dry ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (Forms the base and structure of the cake.)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (Helps the cake rise and become fluffy.)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (Works with baking soda for leavening.)
  • 1 tsp salt (Enhances flavor and balances sweetness.)
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon (Imparts warm and inviting spice notes.)
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg (Adds depth with its slightly sweet, nutty profile.)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger (Introduces a warm, spicy kick.)

Wet ingredients

  • 1 can pumpkin puree (Adds moisture and a rich pumpkin flavor.)
  • 3 large eggs (Binds the ingredients and adds richness.)
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar (Sweetens the cake, balancing spices.)
  • 0.5 cups brown sugar (Adds moisture and a hint of caramel flavor.)
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil (Keeps the cake moist and tender.)

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • In another bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, sugars, and vegetable oil until smooth.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a cream cheese frosting or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
