Ingredients

  

1x2x3x?

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 can canned chocolate frosting for decoration
• 1/4 cup candy eyeballs for decoration
• 1/4 cup black sprinkles for decoration

Method

 

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and well-combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once the cakes are cooled, spread a layer of canned chocolate frosting on top of one cake layer. Stack the second cake layer on top, and decorate the top with candy eyeballs and black sprinkles for a spooky effect!
