Vegan Pumpkin Cake
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Ground Ginger
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
- 1/2 cup Water or Almond Milk (or other alternate milk of choice)
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
- 2 Tbsp White Sugar
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients, flour through nutmeg. Set aside.
- In another bowl, with a whisk or hand mixer, beat together the brown sugar, vanilla, vegetable oil, pumpkin and water or almond milk until the mixture is smooth and has lightened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, until the batter is evenly mixed. Transfer the batter to a lightly greased 8×8” square pan.
- To create the cinnamon sugar topping, mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small dish. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the top of the pumpkin cake batter.
- Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with just a couple of crumbs on it. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack. Once cool, slice and serve.
