Time 1h5m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup water
1 tablespoon instant coffee, or as needed
1 teaspoon oil for greasing
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
2 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¾ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup water
3 tablespoons pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Boil 1 cup water and mix with instant coffee in a measuring cup or mug. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a rectangular 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Combine flour, sugar, mixed spice, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a bowl and mix well. Add cooled coffee, oil, and 3/4 cup water and mix until well combined. Fold in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract; mix well. Pour batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or almost clean, as this cake can be quite sticky, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use fresh pumpkin purée: Fresh pumpkin purée will give your cake a richer flavor than canned pumpkin purée. If you don't have time to make your own pumpkin purée, you can use canned pumpkin purée, but be sure to drain off any excess liquid before using it.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough. Mix the batter 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 tell if your cake is done baking. Do not judge the doneness of the cake by its appearance.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This vegan pumpkin spice cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for fall. It is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of spices. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is sure to impress. So gather your ingredients and get baking!
