How to Make Soft Pumpkin Yummy Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 250g all-purpose flour and 4 tsp baking powder. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together 200g softened butter, 200g granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the egg whites into the butter-sugar mixture in three additions.
  7. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Add 400g grated raw pumpkin and mix until evenly distributed.
  8. If the batter is too thick, add 3 tablespoons of water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Add any desired mix-ins (see optional additions below).
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  11. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
