Pumpkin Cake

  4.8 – 833 reviews  • Pumpkin Cake Recipes

The inclusion of the diced potato makes this quiche incredibly hearty and stick to your ribs while maintaining a lovely flavor. When I bake potatoes, I prefer to prepare a few extra and save them in the fridge for dishes like this one. You can substitute any flavor of cheese that you choose.

This cake was very moist and delicious! I used pecans because I’m allergic to walnuts. I added 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. Loved it! My husband loved it too! Best recipe ever!
Ann Irwin
Delicious and very moist! We added less spice and even my picky 5 year old loved it!
Molly Wallace
This is a great cake. I followed the recipe as is.
Cynthia Dixon
Recipe works great for the most part. Tweaks I made: – bake for 75 minutes (30 is way too short unless it’s a super shallow pan) – used a Bundt pan – added more cinnamon and other spices (ginger, allspice, nutmeg, clove) With those changes I’d give it a solid 9/10, will make again! Good alternative for people who don’t like pie but still want something pumpkin on Thanksgiving.

It took longer to bake than stated for me in my standard loaf tin and fan oven, about 1hr 15 at 170 C degrees, but we’ll worth the wait! It was moist flavourful and soft, I had it with cream cheese frosting and it was fantastic!
Diane Mills
It was super easy to make. I had to cook it 25 more minutes though because 30 minutes was not long enough. It is so moist and soft. Not too sweet and still yet lightly flavored! We did not add any frosting and like it just the way it is!
Brian Ford
I added the extra spice other reviewers suggested. Delicious custard like cake
John Rogers
My family loved this cake. It was moist and had the best flavor. I had never made a pumpkin cake before but this will be our new family tradition. My husband & I are diabetic so I changed out the 2 cups of sugar and used 2 cups of Splenda. I also changed out 1 cup of oil and used 1 cup of applesauce.
Colleen Jones
It was good. I made a small mistake but it still came out really good.

Followed exact recipe . Used Bundt pan so there was leftover batter which I used for mini muffins. Be careful not to overfill Bundt pan. I filled 2/3 full and the cake rose out thru the centre and overflowed slightly on to the baking sheet underneath ( which should always be used just in case). Baking time for cake was 50 minutes, mini muffins took around 8 minutes. Served with whipping cream. Everyone really enjoyed it – including my picky eaters who “don’t like pumpkin “ will definitely make again
Gabriela Edwards
Soooooo good! In addition to cinnamon, add allspice, ginger, and nutmeg! Yes, It makes that much of a difference 🙂 I added a quarter of a tsp more of vanilla I did not reduce the oil and I did not add applesauce. Made homemade cream cheese icing This is THE BEST pumpkin cake EVER! It’ll definitely have you coming back for seconds or thirds LOL
Amy Rose
Everyone loves it! Didn’t need frosting. Made as dir3cted, but did them in muffin cups, 18-20 minutes. Ended up with 30 cupcakes. ??
Jennifer Dawson
My 12 yr old found and made this recipe. He added chocolate chips and walnuts. It was delicious. We didn’t get a photo it was eaten so fast! This is a keeper!
Victor Rasmussen
had a hard time getting the cooking time down since i had to change pan sizes. it’s kinda sticky and idk if i did something wrong but there’s a baking soda taste to it somehow. it’s very moist tho. kinda sticky. idk i probly wont be making it again
Robert Johnson
Followed the recipe exactly. Very easy and fast. Everyone loved it, super moist. Will definitely make it again.
Maria Shaffer
Took the advice on the video to substitute 1/2 cup of oil with unsweetened apple sauce, and this was the most moist, delicious cake that was full of yummy fall flavor!
Dakota Fields
I made this cake on Thanksgiving day. I adjusted it down to 8 servings. It was so delicious! I did what other reviewers suggested and used 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup + 2 Tbsp applesauce and it came out perfectly moist! I will definitely make this again, but I’ll use the full recipe from now on. It’ll go quickly!
Ronald Terry
great but I added cloves and brn sugar for color and more cinnamon
Connie Bradshaw
I liked the recipe and i cant wait to serve it to famuly today. My substitution was i added pumpkin spice jello with this. Fingers crossed that its a hit.
Taylor Cook
This was our first dairy free Thanksgiving! The Bundt cake is exactly like the recipe and I topped it with maple frosting (powdered sugar, maple syrup, plant butter and maple flavoring) and chopped pecans.
Leah Hicks
Extremely moist cake, almost too much to stand up. Had a little weirdness with the recipe: halved the recipe cause the cans of pumpkin said they were a serving size of 1/2 a cup. But the recipe then said to use 1 cup of pumpkin. I feel if I had, I would have turned it from cake batter to cake soup. Also, not as sweet as I personally would have liked. Regardless, it baked well, came out golden brown, and I’m certain it will taste fantastic with some whipped cream.
