  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare your pans by greasing two 9-inch round cake pans with vegetable oil or lining them with parchment paper.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a large bowl, whisking well.
  4. Combine the white sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil in another bowl, beating until creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  6. Blend the wet and dry ingredients gently until just combined, avoiding over-mixing.
  7. Pour and level the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Top with cream cheese frosting or a sprinkle of sugar and pumpkin spice before serving.

Notes

To make the cake richer, you can sprinkle a mixture of topping sugar and pumpkin spice on top for extra flavor.
