Weekly Recipe
Pumpkin Cake Holly Nilsson

Moist, soft, & full of fall flavors, Pumpkin Cake is hard to resist!
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 ⅓ cups pumpkin puree
¾ cup vegetable oil
Cream cheese frosting optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt in a large bowl.
Add remaining ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour batter into an ungreased 9x9 baking pan.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely and frost with cream cheese frosting.

Notes
Set eggs out about 30 minutes before using to bring to room temperature. If you are short on time, run them under hot water for a minute or so.

Double-check the freshness dates of your baking powder and soda to be sure they aren’t expired.

Avoid over mixing the batter so the cake stays nice and fluffy.

Keep leftover pumpkin cake at room temperature in a zippered bag or airtight container. Freeze.
