Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240g) pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup (115g) softened butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the topping.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
