Pumpkin Spice Cake

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

  1. Set your oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 10-inch pan by spraying it with nonstick spray and lightly dusting it with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the canola oil, nonfat milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet egg mixture into the bowl with the dry flour mixture. Stir the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  5. 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.
  6. Mix the confectioners' sugar with the fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle this glaze over the top of the warm cake.
