How to Make Spicy Pumpkin Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and ½ cup molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground allspice, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in ½ cup water until the batter is smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
