Scale
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 cups homemade or canned 100% pure pumpkin puree
For the Frosting:
- 2 cups of The Best Homemade Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
- 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, lightly beat eggs with the whisk attachment on medium-low speed.
- Add sugar, coconut oil, and pumpkin, mixing together until combined on medium speed with the paddle attachment. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until combined well on medium speed.
