Ingredients
1 cup pumpkin puree
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
¼ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and brewed espresso until smooth.
4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool completely before frosting with cream cheese frosting. Dust with extra cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Make sure your espresso is strong to bring out the latte flavor.
Do not substitute pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie filling.
Let the cake cool fully before frosting to prevent melting.
