Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar (for frosting)
  • 1/2 cup butter (for frosting)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  8. For the frosting, beat the butter and brown sugar together until creamy.
  9. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.

Notes

  • For a spicier cake, add more cinnamon or a pinch of cloves.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Serve with whipped cream for an extra treat.
