Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1.75 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick baking spray. Lightly dust the pan with flour, shaking out the excess to ensure the cake releases easily.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth and fully combined.
Add in the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three portions, stirring gently after each addition. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the cake remains tender.
Slowly pour in the whole milk and stir until the batter is evenly combined and smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly with 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 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top generously with powdered sugar for a simple garnish, or serve as is for a rustic appearance.
