Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup nonfat milk
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Method
- Set your oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 10-inch pan by spraying it with nonstick spray and lightly dusting it with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the canola oil, nonfat milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet egg mixture into the bowl with the dry flour mixture. Stir the ingredients together until they are just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Place it in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove it from the pan and allow it to cool completely on the rack for a further 30 minutes.
- Mix the confectioners' sugar with the fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle this glaze over the top of the warm cake.
