Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 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
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups pure pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Optional: Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch.
