Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy.
Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the butter and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra touch, top with cream cheese frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Feel free to add chocolate chips for a sweeter variation.
