Pumpkins, Spice, and Everything Nice!

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, friend, let’s hit the grocery store for this! You’ll need:
– 3 medium eggs (grab the freshest ones!)
– 140g of brown sugar (or just good ol’ cane sugar, whatever you fancy)
– 110g of coconut oil (but sunflower oil works too, no stress!)
– 170g of pumpkin puree (like, real pumpkin or canned—your choice!)
– A splash of maple syrup (totally optional but why not?)
– 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract (makes everything better)
– 200g of flour (all-purpose is fine)
– 2 tsp baking powder (don’t skip this!)
– 3 tsp of pumpkin spice (get your spice game on point!)
– For the glaze: some powdered sugar, milk, and a bit more maple syrup.

Just thinking about all that makes me wanna start baking right now!

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, real talk. This recipe is like my go-to for everything. I started making it when I was trying to impress my friends during a fall gathering, and oh boy, did it work! The smell filled the whole house, and suddenly everyone wanted to be my best friend (I mean, who wouldn’t want a friend who bakes?).

Last year, I made this for Thanksgiving and *almost* didn’t get to take a slice for myself. My cousin Emily took a whole third of it (not even sorry!), and I was left with just crumbs. But those crumbs tasted like pure joy! It’s fluffy, moist, and all the pumpkin spice feels you could ever want.

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

So here’s the deal: you HAVE to check it like a hawk towards the end of baking. Bake for 25 minutes, and then cover it with foil and bake for another 20 minutes… BUT keep an eye on it after the first 18! Honestly, that last bit is crucial. You want it to be just slightly underbaked—like, a little gooey. Trust me, it’s worth it!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t overmix: Just mix until everything’s combined! Clumps are your friends here.
2. Use room temp eggs: They mix better and help the cake rise!
3. Check your pumpkin spice: If it’s old, toss it. Fresh spices make a huuuuge difference!
4. Taste test: Always sneak a spoonful of the batter. It’s a must.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you manage to have leftovers (which is a miracle), just wrap it up in plastic wrap or pop it in an airtight container. It’ll stay good for about 3-4 days. But let’s be real, it’ll probably be gone before you can even think about storing it!
