Spiced Pumpkin Cake Recipe
Delicious, rich, moist cake. Fabulous in the Fall as a complement to a hearty dinner or as an alternative to pumpkin pie.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups sifted cake flour (sifted, then measured). If you do not have cake flour, add 2 tbsp. cornstarch and 1/2 tsp. baking powder to each cup, fill the rest with all purpose flour and sift together.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin

Directions
  1. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F.
  2. Butter and flour two 9-inch-diameter cake pans.
  3. Sift dry ingredients together into a medium sized bowl.
  4. In a large bowl, beat sugar and oil in large bowl until well blended.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well before adding the next egg.
  6. Mix in pumpkin, blending well.
  7. Gradually add dry ingredients from medium bowl to large bowl, mixing until just blended, being careful not to over mix (may be a bit lumpy).
  8. Pour half batter into each pan.
  9. Bake cakes for about 30 minutes. Cakes are done when a fork inserted in center comes out clean.
  10. Cool completely in pans on racks. Run small knife around cakes to loosen. Turn cakes out onto racks to finish cooling.
  11. Frost with a cream cheese or caramel frosting. Also good with a light confectioners sugar glaze.
