How to Make Baby Food Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan. You can also sprinkle sugar in the pan for extra browning.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped pecans (if using).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
