Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Snack Cake

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake dense.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. The edges should be slightly golden, and the cake should spring back when lightly pressed.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift the cake out of the pan, transfer it to a cutting board, and slice into squares.
