Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins, as they have a denser flesh and sweeter flavor compared to carving pumpkins.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
  • Use pumpkin puree: Fresh or canned pumpkin puree can be used in this recipe. If using canned puree, make sure it's unsweetened.
  • Measure the flour correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour instead of using measuring cups.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature (350°F) to prevent over-browning.
  • Let the cake cool completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps the cake to set and prevents it from falling apart.
