Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time, adding the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract afterward.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cake’s texture.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting for a delicious finish or serve plain for a lighter option.
