Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

Maple Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color, which helps create the cake’s tender texture.
  4. Add Eggs, Vanilla, and Pumpkin: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Then gently mix in the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding carefully to maintain the batter’s lightness without overmixing.
  6. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Make the Maple Glaze: While the cake cools slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and pure maple syrup until a smooth, pourable glaze forms.
  8. Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the maple glaze evenly over the warm cake, letting it cascade down the sides. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Fold ingredients gently to avoid overmixing and a dense cake.
  • Test for doneness with a toothpick to keep the cake moist.
  • Let the cake cool slightly before glazing so the glaze sets properly.
  • Use pure maple syrup in the glaze for the most authentic flavor.
