How to Make Pumpkin Ginger Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. Once the cake is cool, serve warm slices topped with caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
