This healthy pumpkin cake is favorite, fluffy, moist and absolutely delicious. It has a tender, moist and delicate crumb.

My family is not a fan of pumpkin.

But, this time I thought to try with sweets as my family is always carving for sweets.

There are many ways to use pumpkin as a sweet but I love to start it with the cake to go with tea.




Pumpkin Cake Recipe

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda (sifted to get rid of lumps)
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
3 large eggs, room temp
1 cup oil (extra light olive oil or vegetable will work)
500 gm pumpkin( roasted in the oven to make a puree)
4 tsp milk



Method

Prep:


1)Preheat oven to 350˚F.
2) Using cooking spray or oil, grease a  non-stick baking pan.

Steps:


1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients:
    2 cups flour,
    1 1/2 cups sugar,
    1 tsp baking soda,
    2 tsp baking powder,
    2 tsp cinnamon.




2. In a second medium bowl, whisk together wet ingredients:
    3 large eggs,
    1 cup oil ,
    4 tsp milk and
    1 can pumpkin, until well combined.





3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.



4. Transfer to prepared baking dish and bake at 350˚F for 35-40 min (my oven took 35 mins), or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.



5. Let cake cool completely in pan then spread the top with frosting or decorate with pecans or sprinkles.
