Instructions
Prepare the Pumpkin Puree
- Peel and chop a medium pumpkin roughly. Boil until tender, then drain well. Puree in a blender until smooth.
Make the Cake Batter
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger.
- In a large bowl, cream together melted butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the pumpkin puree.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract and food coloring (if using).
Frost and Serve
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the cream cheese frosting. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
