Notes

  • You can use 2 round cake pans or a rectangular baking dish if you don't have a bundt pan.
  • Be sure to butter and flour the pan or use nonstick cooking spray or the cake will stick to the pan.
  • Replace the vegetable oil with melted unsalted butter.
  • Try this with carrot cake.
  • Be sure to use canned pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Cover leftovers with plastic wrap. This cake is good up to 3 days.
  • You can prepare this cake the day before. I like to keep it in the refrigerator and dust with powdered sugar right before serving.
