Pumpkin Cake - with cream cheese maple frosting

Recipe below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ or PRINT: www.recipetineats.com/pumpkin...
Nothing gives cakes that warm orange glow and soft springy texture like pumpkin! Perfectly spiced, and there is no better frosting than cream cheese except when you add a big drizzle of maple syrup as well! - N x ❤️
Pumpkin Cake
.
CAKE:
4 large eggs at room temp (55-60g/2oz each)
1 2/3 cups white sugar (350g)
1 cup vegetable oil (or canola)
15 oz / 420g can pure pumpkin, or 1 2/3 cups (400g) mashed fresh pumpkin* (BETTER FLAVOUR)
2 cups flour, all-purpose/plain (300g)
2 tsp cinnamon powder
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cooking/kosher salt (or ½ tsp table salt)
Frosting:
6oz/180g cream cheese, at room temperature
2 sticks / 225g / 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 cups (480g) confectionary / icing sugar (sifted if clumpy)
1/3 cup maple syrup, for drizzling
½ cup chopped pecans
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350F / 180C (160C fan).
2. Spray and line a 9 x 13" / 22 x 33cm pan with paper, with overhang.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin. Add remaining ingredients, whisk until smooth. Pour into prepared pan, bake 40 min or until skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool 10 min then use paper overhang to lift onto cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting - use a spoon to make swirls for puddles of maple syrup. Sprinkle with pecans then dive in!
4. Frosting: Beat cream and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in icing sugar in 3 lots, starting on low at first to avoid snow storm. Beat in vanilla then beat on high speed 2 - 3 min until fluffy. Use immediately. (If using a stand mixer, use the paddle attachment)
* I make this with fresh pumpkin because canned pumpkin is not readily accessible in Australia, and it tastes better. Use 1 kg / 2 lb pumpkin, peel, deseed, cut into chunks then boil for 15 min until soft. Drain well in colander for 15 min (otherwise will be watery), then blitz to puree. Measure out 1 2/3 cups, use at room temp.

I’m trying to keep my diet balance and must keep my weight under control as I do 🏇 but this one had me craving sooo bad 😫 that Imma make it tmr! 🥹🤣

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

I will make it with my low-carb/SF substitute ingredients!

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

@@HI-bw8fe For starters, I use a monkfruit sweetener with erythritol (one brand is Lakanto and they make a "golden" brown blend as well as white sugar substitute). I also use finely ground almond flour I buy at Costco in baking but it does have a different texture than processed all-purpose wheat/white flour; however, it is lower carb and healthier. It also can be swapped cup for cup. There is a keto YT channel called Victoria's Keto Kitchen and she has developed a low-carb all-purpose flour substitute that I am going to make but some of the ingredients are pricey and it's taken me months to round them up. As far as healthier and low-calorie alternatives to oil in baking, you can use unsweetened applesauce, for instance, but now you're deviating from low-carb, and I lean more towards keto and will use butter or coconut oil, but before low-carb, I did use applesauce. I suggest you google "what can I substitute for [blank] in a recipe" and you'll find lots of options! Hope this helps. Best wishes and good luck.

Omg I love you Nagi!! I’ve been following for years, so exciting that you popped up in my news feed today! Hi Dozer! :) Yummm, what’s for dinner?

I've never seen canned pumpkin in any supermarket in Australia.

[@heyitsmeshaz]

i've seen it at woolies before

Neither, just the USA Foods store

any recipe?

[@steemdup]

What type of pumpkin did you use, Nagi? It looked like a type of squash to me.

[@soph2774]

That looks like a Kombucha pumpkin

[@rachelslee7962]

Kent pumpkin

[@rakul1006]

That looked like a Kent Pumpkin which is very common in Australian shops. Btw Australian language doesn't differentiate between any type of squash and pumpkin. It's just all pumpkins. Butternut squash, for example, is butternut pumpkin.

[@deborahlee8135]

Oh! Always thought the US canned pumpkin must have other stuff in it. 😂 it's just pureed pumpkin??? 😮

[@TwilightStorm]

There's cans of pumpkin pie filling that look pretty similar, and they put them next to each other usually, so be careful which one you grab, but yes. You can use the regular canned pumpkin in just about everything

[@deborahlee8135]

@@TwilightStorm I've never seen it in Australia.

[@B_Bodziak]

It has nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. I noticed she only put cinnamon in her cake.

[@B_Bodziak]

​@@deborahlee8135 I think because the US has Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie is a traditional dessert for Thanksgiving meals may be why canned pumpkin is in virtually every US market.

[@steemdup]

Yeah, there's pumpkin pie filling (ready to bake) and 100% pumpkin puree (plain pumpkin). I use the puree so I can add what I like for flavoring. The labels look similar, so be sure you're buying whichever you prefer.

[@B_Bodziak]

Dang, that's a boatload of sugar

[@steemdup]

Yeah, plus the maple syrup! If I made it I'd use less sugar for sure, more spice, and no maple syrup (but maple extract might be interesting). I know it sounds terrible, but I dislike cake recipes with oil.

The content & recipes are turning more American day by day…

[@grahamreinbott172]

Well it is coming up to Halloween 🤦

[@B_Bodziak]

The channel has been going for quite some time, and posts at least one recipe per day. It was inevitable for "continental" recipes to begin appearing!

[@deborahlee8135]

Nagi has international subscribers. Of course she will do things that suit their celebrations too.

[@star_fossil]

Nagi has always had American recipes amongst the others. Imagine still fighting cultural cringe at this stage of the game?
