  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for glaze consistency)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Bring it all together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  5. Bake and cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
  6. Prepare the maple glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and maple syrup, adding a splash of milk if needed to reach a smooth, drizzle-ready consistency.
  7. Glaze the cake: Drizzle the maple glaze evenly over the cooled cake using a spoon or piping bag, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and oil for a smoother batter.
  • Mix ingredients just until combined to keep the cake fluffy.
  • Check cake doneness at around 35 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Use pure maple syrup for best flavor in the glaze.
  • Cool cake completely before glazing to prevent glaze from melting too fast.
