    Ingredients in Pumpkin Cake Recipe

    • Flour: All-Purpose flour works great in this pumpkin cake recipe we use just regular all-purpose flour and soda cake flour because we are wanting a really sick rich and laced pumpkin cake.
    • Baking Powder:  This helps the cake rise and become fluffy.
    • Spices:  Cinnamon, Ginger, and Cloves are used in this recipe. Hello, fall flavors!
    • Salt: Sea Salt works best.
    • Butter: Melted butter is used in this recipe instead of oil because everything is better with butter!
    • Eggs: Gives the cake that spongy consistency and keeps it moist too,
    • Sugar: Regular, white table sugar works great.  It adds just the right amount of sweetness.
    • Pumpkin: 16 ounces. Just be sure to weigh your pumpkin if you are using homemade pumpkin puree.  Pumpkin Puree is the magic in this recipe.

    Ingredients in Cream Cheese Frosting

    • Cream Cheese: Regular, full-fat cream cheese is what the recipe calls for, however, low-fat cream cheese also works great here.
    • Butter: This will give it a rich and creamy texture.
    • Powdered Sugar:  This gives it sweetness without any sugar granules.
    • Vanilla:  This gives it a rich a full robust flavor.

    Ingredients in Eggnog Buttercream Frosting

    (This is an option in place of the Cream Cheese Frosting.  If you want to take your fall flavors to the next level, try this classic buttercream frosting recipe with an eggnog twist)

    • Butter: This will give it a rich and creamy texture.
    • Eggnog: Provides the thick and creamy consistency to this frosting.
    • Powdered Sugar:  Adds sweetness without any sugar granules.
    • Cinnamon: Gives it that deep and rich fall flavors
    • Nutmeg: A perfect match to the pumpkin.
