PUMPKIN CAKE (SCRATCH RECIPE)
INGREDIENTS

• 2 3/4 cups (360g.) all-purpose flour
• 1 Tablespoon (15g) baking powder
• 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
• 2 teaspoons (6g) cinnamon
• 1 teaspoons (2g) nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger
• 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
• 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) (170g) unsalted butter - do not soften in the microwave - I cut mine into 1/2 inch slices onto waxed paper on the countertop, leaving out only 5 to 6 minutes, you do not want it to be too soft. If it does get too soft refrigerate for a few minutes.
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup (54g) vegetable oil
• 1 can (15oz/425g) pumpkin ( not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1/2 cup (121 g) milk
• 1 teaspoons (6g) vanilla extract

FOR THE SPICED CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

• 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) (382 g) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 1/2 packages (339 g) cream cheese (no need to soften to room temp)
• 2 teaspoons (4g) cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon (1g) nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger (2g) *sift if clumpy
• 6 - 6 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar, sifted (or more to reach desired spreading consistency)
• 2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

1. (This recipe uses the reverse creaming method.)Preheat oven to 350. Grease & flour three 8 inch pans.
2. In your mixing bowl add the dry ingredients (flour and the next seven ingredients). With the mixer on low speed, mix the dry ingredients for 30 seconds so all will be well blended. Add the pieces of butter a few slices at a time. Mix until the dry ingredients are moistened by the butter and look like coarse sand. If you pinch some of the mixture between your fingers it will stick together. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
