  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed

Instructions

To make this light pumpkin cake, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the white and light brown sugars with the canola oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If desired, stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack. Serve the cake with whipped cream or a light dusting of confectioners' sugar.
