How to Make Classic Pumpkin Cake

This classic pumpkin cake is a perfect fall dessert that’s easy to make and absolutely delicious. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing your cake pan. In a bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. This blend of spices is what gives the cake its warm, comforting fall flavor.

In a separate bowl, beat together the wet ingredients: eggs, pumpkin puree, sugar, and melted butter. This mixture will create the smooth, flavorful base of the cake. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until everything is well combined. Be sure not to overmix.

Once the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 30 minutes before serving. If you want to add some extra indulgence, you can frost the cake with a creamy cream cheese frosting or enjoy it on its own. It’s a perfect treat for fall parties, Thanksgiving, or simply as a cozy snack on a cool autumn day.

Conclusion

This classic pumpkin cake is an absolute must-try this fall. It’s moist, flavorful, and infused with the delicious spices of the season.
