Easy Pumpkin Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups white sugar
• 1.25 cups vegetable oil
• 2 cups canned pumpkin
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 eggs eggs
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12x18-inch sheet pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat together the sugar and oil with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Blend in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, then beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the walnuts (optional); spread the batter evenly into the prepared sheet pan.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
