  • Pumpkin Spice Cake

    I absolutely love pumpkin desserts and this one is by far my favorite! When Fall season comes around I start craving anything pumpkin. My pumpkin spice cake is a big hit with my friends and family. It is so moist and delicious with amazing flavors that will blow your mind. It is so yummy warm but I love this cake chilled in the refrigerator. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think.

Pumpkin Spice Cake
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (15 oz ) can pumpkin
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin in a large bowl, then beat with a mixer or by hand, until smooth.
    3. Mix the flour with the next 6 ingredients in a separate bowl. Make sure to add the walnuts with the flour to prevent them from sinking at the bottom of the pan. Once they are combined slowly pour the flour mixture with the pumpkin mixture and mix until all ingredients are combined. 
    4. Mix well and pour the cake batter in a lightly greased 9.5 x 13.5 x 2 inch glass baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.

    Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool in the pan. Slice and top with cinnamon whipped topping. 



    Cinnamon Whipped Cream

    1 pint of whipping cream
    3-4 tbsp white sugar  
    1 tsp of cinnamon (more if you want a stronger cinnamon flavor)
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Mix all ingredients with a hand blender for 5-7 minutes until fluffy.
