Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 3

In another large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense cake.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Optionally, once the cake is fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a light and decorative touch.

Step 9

Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Yummy Pumpkin Cake!
