Delicious Moist Pumpkin Spice Cake Recipe From Scratch

Preheat oven to 350. Grease & flour three 8 inch pans. In your mixing bowl add the dry ingredients (flour and the next seven ingredients). With the mixer on low speed, mix the dry ingredients for 30 seconds so all will be well blended. Add the pieces of butter a few slices at a time. Mix until the dry ingredients are moistened by the butter and look like coarse sand. If you pinch some of the mixture between your fingers it will stick together. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. In another bowl combine eggs, oil, pumpkin, milk and vanilla. Whisk until well blended, set aside. Method is important in this recipe so with the mixer on LOW speed, SLOWLY add approximately 1/2 of the egg mixture. Increase to medium speed for 1 1/2 minutes. Scrape bottom and sides of the bowl. Add the remaining egg mixture in 2 pourings, beating 20 seconds after each addition.

Besides, I know a lot of people ( including myself) that will be celebrating their wedding anniversaries this time of the year, and this cake is perfect for that occasion! Spring/ Summer birthday parties! The frosting that I used for this cake was a simple buttercream. Mixed the ingredients until nice a creamy! Keep in mind that you don’t have to use as much buttercream as I used. For decorating, I used about 2 cups of buttercream for a crumb coat. After making this cake, I actually think that I should have colored the crumb coat pink, instead of using white buttercream. I think a pink crumb coat would have looked better. Although this cake was still gorgeous. My cake is ombre. I started of with the dark colors on the bottom, and the colors on top were lighter. For the coloring I divided the buttercream into two separate bowls.

In one bowl I dropped in two drops of Wilton’s Gel Food Coloring in magenta, and in the other bowl I added 4 drops of the same coloring. For the Rose Swirls I used a Wilton 1M Tip, and of course I placed each color of buttercream into a separate piping bag. As of now, I am a beginner when it comes to cake decorating. If I can do this I know you can do it too. It looks complicated, but I promise you that creating these rose swirls are super easy. Below is the recipe for the vanilla cake, but check out my video for the cake & decorating tutorial! Watch the tutorial here, and follow me on Pinterest! 1. In a large bowl cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and egg whites. 2. In a separate bowl add the cake flour, salt, and baking powder. 3. Start alternatively adding the flour and the buttermilk into the bowl of wet ingredients, while mixing on a low speed. 4. Once the cake batter is nice and smooth pour the batter into two 9 inch greased and floured cake pans. 5. Bake the cakes on 350 F, for 25 - 30 minutes or until done. 6. Remove the cakes from the oven, remove them from the cake pans, and place them on a cooling rack. 7. Let the cake cool completely before frosting.
