Servings: 12
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 eggs
- 15 oz. pumpkin puree (1 can)
- 3/4 cup avocado oil or canola oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 12 oz. evaporated milk
- 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup milk
For the whipped cream:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and spray the sides with nonstick spray; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin, oil, both sugars, and vanilla together. Add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, whisk together the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and regular milk. Then, using a wooden skewer or fork, poke holes all over the baked cake. Slowly pour the three milk mixture over the cake making sure the milk is slowly sinking into the cake. Continue this process slowly until there is only a small layer of milk sitting on top of the cake. Cover and transfer the cake to the fridge to finish cooling, at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- Once you’re ready to serve the cake, make the whipped cream. Pour the heavy cream, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla into a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer (or stand mixer) until stiff peaks form. This should take about 5 minutes.
- Spread the whipped cream over the cake, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon (optional), slice and enjoy!
