Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cream cheese frosting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, and eggs until well combined.
  4. Stir in the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost with cream cheese frosting if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
  • Ensure your pumpkin puree is not pumpkin pie filling.
  • You can add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for added texture.
  • This cake can also be baked in Bundt pans or as cupcakes. Adjust baking time accordingly.
