🎃
It's almost that S~P~O~O~K~Y time of the year again, folks!
Lots of scary pumpkins and sweet-sweet candies. I have nothing against pumpkin pie, but wait till you make this pumpkin CAKE! Do it now and thank me later 😘
Ingredients
for the cake: * 1 cup white whole wheat flour; * 1/2 cup neutral cooking oil; * 1 tsp baking soda; * 1/2 tsp baking powder; * 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or more to taste; * 2 large eggs; * a pinch of salt; * 1 cup light brown sugar; * 1 cup pumpkin puree; * chopped walnuts (optional); * chocolate bits (optional); * 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Directions:
-
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, spices and set aside. Instead of traditional pumpkin spice mix I use a blend called Winter Baking from Whole Foods, it has just a slightly different ingredient list, I love it, there's no need to seek it out, but if you happen to stumble upon a bottle, you might wanna grab one!
-
In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, add in oil, pumpkin puree, vanilla and sugar. Mix wet and dry ingredients, throw in some walnuts and chocolate bits, or fillings of your choice.
-
Preheat your oven to 350F, pour the mixture into your 6 cups bundt pan and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until tester comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake, making sure it doesn't burn. When I used a 10 inch round pan to make this recipe, it only took me around 30 minutes for the cake to fully bake, it takes a bit longer in a bundt pan, or it did for me 🤪
-
Let the cake cool down, top it with your favorite frosting or caramel sauce and enjoy! Keep refrigerated.
