Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the pumpkin mixture, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vegetable oil, almond milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Optionally, top the cooled cake with cream cheese frosting, a dusting of powdered sugar, or enjoy it plain!
