Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch cake pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

Helpful Tips

If you want to make your life easier, you can use pre-mixed pumpkin spice available at the store. For a vegan variation of this cake, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg) and use a dairy-free whipped topping.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cake for up to 3 months; just ensure it’s well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.

Complementary Dishes & Drinks

This Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Cake pairs perfectly with a warm cup of apple cider or a chai latte. For a full autumn-themed meal, consider serving it after a comforting bowl of butternut squash soup or a hearty lentil stew.
