# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C and grease a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or cooking spray. Dust the pan lightly with flour, tapping out the excess to ensure all crevices are coated.
02 -
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt in a medium bowl until evenly mixed.
03 -
In a large bowl, whisk the oil, pumpkin purée, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until just combined.
04 -
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding carefully until just combined without overmixing.
05 -
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface using a spatula or by gently tapping the pan against the counter.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
07 -
Beat the cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl with a paddle attachment or electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sifted confectioners’ sugar and continue mixing until smooth. Incorporate vanilla extract and milk, adjusting quantity to achieve desired frosting consistency.
08 -
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Optionally, sprinkle with toasted nuts or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure ingredients, especially eggs, are at room temperature for optimal texture.
