Instructions
Making this pumpkin cake is easier than you think. Follow these simple steps and get ready to wow your guests with this delicious treat.
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. These spices will give your pumpkin cake that irresistible fall flavor.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla extract. Make sure to mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Step 4: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can result in a dense and tough cake.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese frosting by mixing together the cream cheese, butter, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 7: Let the Cake Cool
Once the cake is done baking, let it cool completely before frosting it. This will prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
Step 8: Frost and Decorate
Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top and decorate with your favorite Halloween sprinkles or candies.
And there you have it, a delicious and festive pumpkin cake that will be the highlight of your Halloween party. Serve it with a cup of hot apple cider and enjoy the flavors of fall. Happy Halloween!
