Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups apple, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apples and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
