Time 1h45m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups lukewarm milk
1 cup canned pumpkin
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs, at room temperature, separated
1 cup white sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon water
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup maple syrup
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking pan.
  • Whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl.
  • Combine milk, pumpkin, and vanilla extract in a bowl.
  • Place egg yolks, white sugar, brown sugar, and water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on high speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add butter. Increase speed to medium; beat until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in 3 batches, blending thoroughly after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Stir milk-pumpkin mixture slowly into the mixture until just combined; transfer to a separate bowl.
  • Clean and dry out the bowl and beaters. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold 3/4 of the egg white mixture into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula; pour into the remaining egg whites, folding mixture in slowly until batter is smooth but still light and fluffy. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and center still jiggles slightly, about 50 minutes. Let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Beat heavy cream, maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 pinch salt together in a bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Spread over cooled cake.

Categories     Cakes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 box yellow cake mix, plus ingredients needed to make the cake (eggs, water, oil)
1- 15 oz canned pumpkin
1/2 c evaporated milk
1/2 c heavy cream
3 eggs
1 c brown sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
FOR THE FROSTING:
1 small box instant vanilla pudding
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 c cold milk
8 oz cool whip, thawed

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix according to package instructions. Pour into a sprayed 9x13' cake pan. DO NOT BAKE! Set aside.
  • 2. In another bowl, whisk together the canned pumpkin, evaporated milk, heavy cream, eggs, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth. Slowly pour the pumpkin pie mixture all over the top of the cake mix.
  • 3. Carefully place the cake into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until center is no longer jiggly, and a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean. I baked mine for 60 minutes. NOTE: The cake may be slightly darker than normal, but still tastes great! Let cool to room temperature.
  • 4. Prepare your frosting. Place pudding into large bowl. Add the pumpkin pie spice and pour in the cold milk. Whisk or beat until combined and the pudding starts to thicken. Gently fold in the cool whip until its completely combined. Spread on top of the cooled cake. You can serve now or chill the cake and serve when chilled.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepared. Arrange them in order of use to avoid scrambling during the baking process.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor and texture. Fresh pumpkin purée is highly recommended, but canned purée can be used if necessary.
  • Proper Measurements: Use accurate measuring cups and spoons to ensure the correct proportions of ingredients. Incorrect measurements can affect the cake's texture and flavor.
  • Mixing: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Oven Temperature: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before baking. An accurate oven temperature is essential for proper baking.
  • Baking Time: Bake the cake for the recommended time. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Cooling: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving. This helps the cake set properly and prevents it from crumbling.
  • Frosting: Use a smooth, creamy frosting that complements the pumpkin flavor. Cream cheese frosting is a classic choice, but other options like maple or vanilla frosting can also be delicious.

Conclusion:

The magic pumpkin cake is a delightful and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With its moist, tender crumb, rich pumpkin flavor, and creamy frosting, it's a surefire hit at any gathering. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting, this recipe is easy to follow and yields impressive results.
