To begin I dumped some Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free baking flour, some brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, salt and ground cloves into a large mixing bowl.

After stirring together the dry ingredients I added in some eggs, a can of pure pumpkin puree and some vegetable oil.

I used an electric hand mixture on low speed  to just combine all the ingredients.  Then I switched to medium speed until all the ingredients were well combined.

Once combined I scraped the batter into a 9″ x 13″ baking pan that I had sprayed with cooking spray.

I made sure to spread the batter out evenly in the pan.

I put the pan in a preheated 350F oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After 30 minutes I removed the cake from the oven.

I allowed the cake to cool.

Once cooled I sprinkled a dusting of icing sugar on top of the Pumpkin Pie Cake.

Then the cake was ready to serve.

Serve up some Pumpkin Pie Cake and experience the delightful flavours of fall.

Enjoy every bite of this moist and flavourful cake!

How do I store pumpkin pie cake?

To store pumpkin pie cake and keep it fresh, follow these steps:

Room Temperature (for short-term storage)

If you plan to eat the cake within 1-2 days:

• Cover the cake tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container.
• Keep it at room temperature, in a cool and dry spot.

Refrigeration (for longer storage)

For 3-5 days of storage:

• Once the cake has cooled completely, cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.
• Store it in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness.

Freezing (for extended storage)

If you’d like to keep the cake for several weeks:

• Cut the cake into individual portions (optional, but convenient).
• Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and then foil, or place them in freezer-safe bags or containers.
• Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
• To serve, thaw the cake overnight in the fridge or at room temperature.

Refrigeration is recommended for pumpkin-based desserts because of their moist texture and ingredients like eggs and dairy.
