Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Canned pumpkin puree can be used in a pinch, but fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a much richer flavor. To make fresh pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
