The most delicious, moist, spiced pumpkin cake. A beautiful depth of flavour is brought to the cake by the addition of spices and fresh espresso coffee - a spiced pumpkin latte in cake form, what could be better! A perfect treat with a cup of coffee or tea on a cool fall day.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, place your pumpkin, oil, eggs, sugars, espresso and spices. Mix until the pumpkin is smooth and the other ingredients combined.
To the mixed wet ingredients, add the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Mix until just combined.
Pour the cake mix into a buttered and floured cake tin (or line a cake tin with baking paper/parchment).
Preheat the oven to 160C degrees Celsius (or 350 Fahrenheit).
Bake for 90 minutes. The cake should be cooked when the top is golden brown and a skewer should be able to be inserted into the centre of the cake and be clean when it is pulled out of the cake.
Allow the cake to cool completely before completely before removing from cake tin/pan.
Store in an airtight container.
Notes
This cake is superb when covered in swathes of espresso buttercream icing.
