Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 can (15 ounces) pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the pumpkin puree and mix until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Slowly add the milk and mix until just combined.
Step 2: Baking the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Decorating the Cake
Once the cake has cooled, it's time to decorate. You can use whatever type of frosting you'd like, but a cream cheese frosting is a great choice. Spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake. If desired, you can also sprinkle with chopped nuts or festive sprinkles. Serve and enjoy!
