Super Moist Pumpkin Cake

Pumpkin cake


This is pumpkin cake is delightful. I make it year round (if I can find any canned pumpkin, that is!). It is more moist than my picture can convey to you.  You're gonna love it.

It's super easy to make, too.
Pumpkin Cake

3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. allspice
1 cup water
1/2 cup oil (I used coconut oil, but vegetable oil will also work)
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin
Powdered sugar

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add in the wet ingredients. Mix together. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes (or until toothpick inserted comes out clean). Once cool (or while still warm, if you're like me and can't wait), sprinkle with powdered sugar. The sugar looks prettiest if you use a sifter to do this, but I just sprinkle it on with a spoon, clumps and all, and then I spread it a bit.

I just finished eating a piece along with my cup of Earl Gray tea. Ahhh, perfection.

  4. Oooh, Rachel, let me know what you think afterwards!

    Helpful hint: Hide the cake so you don't eat it all in one sitting.

  19. I don't have apple cider vinegar. Can I use white wine vinegar?

  20. @Anonymous, I've never tried that, but I think baking-wise it would work. Not sure how it would affect taste.

  21. Is this correct, no eggs? I am about to put it in the oven but see there are no eggs in the recipe and want to be sure that is right:)

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Anonymous That's right...no eggs! This cake is vegan, to boot! :D

  23. I have made this cake 4 times and Im about to make it my 5th time after I write this review. It is the best pumpkin cake I have ever tasted!!! My Mom just called me and asked if I had any pumpkin bars lying around..how funny. So thats my excuse to make them now. I do not put confectioners sugar on it after it has cooled, instead I make an icing out of melted butter, 10x sugar, half and half and a touch of vanila yummy!

  24. I didn't think it would be possible to make a good cake without eggs, but this is truly delicious! Thanx!

  27. I need to thank you big time for this recipe Alicia! My son wanted a pumpkin birthday cake, but my niece is allergic to eggs so I went looking for a dairy free recipe for his birthday party, and thought I would try yours out. Not only did it turn out wonderful for my son's birthday cake but I have made it 3 times since...just today it was STRONGLY requested for Thanksgiving dinner by my entire family...now a tradition! So thanks again so much :) (P.S.) Anyone reading this this is THEE most moist and delicious pumpkin bread you will ever make... it beats pumpkin loaf at Starbucks (and thats saying something!)

  28. Just made this cake, absolutely delicious! I was looking for a recipe w/ no eggs & something w/ pumpkin bc I had a few cans left over from fall. I did not have allspice but substituted w/ cinnamon & nutmeg. And instead of powdered sugar used cream cheese frosting. I cannot say enough how yummy this was, it's going in my favorites for cakes. Thanks!
