Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Topping:
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon for the topping.
  8. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake batter. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add ½ cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
