Ingredients
- Butter: 1/2 cup
- Whole milk: 2 cups
- Eggs, yolks separated from whites: 4
- Pinch of cream of tartar
- Confectioner’s sugar: 1 1/2 cups
- Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
- Ground cinnamon: 1 tsp
- Pumpkin pie spice: 1 tsp
- Pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling: 1 cup
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and line your baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and set it aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and creamy.
- Incorporate the melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing well. Add the pumpkin puree and mix until smooth.
- Sift in the flour, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice, and blend thoroughly.
- Gently stir in the milk until you achieve a well-combined batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, ensuring a light and airy texture.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan, smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake for approximately 60 minutes or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set.
- Allow the cake to cool completely on a rack before slicing.
- Once cooled, lift the cake gently out of the baking pan using the parchment paper. Slice into neat, even squares. Dust the top with additional confectioner’s sugar before serving.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better integration.
- Handle egg whites gently to retain air in the batter.
- Refrigerate after baking for cleaner slices and firmer layers.
