Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- For the Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking pan to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, blend the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves).
- In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese and butter in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread a generous amount of frosting over the top using a spatula. Decorate with a light dusting of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for an extra touch of flavor.
Notes
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother mix.
- Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
- Add toasted pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
- Customize with chocolate chips or dried cranberries.
