Ingredients

355 degrees Oven Temperature. Preheat.
2 8 inch Round Cake Pans
Butter and Flour each pan

Dry Ingredients

3 cups Cake Flour I prefer Swans Down Cake Flour. This product has no additives or preservatives. The only allergen listed is Wheat
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Salt
1 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Pure Cane Sugar Cane Sugar
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar My preference is Domino's Powdered Sugar as it is made from pure cane sugar
1 Tbsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Cloves
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Cardamon

Wet Ingredients

2 sticks Salted Butter I use Land O Lakes or Breakstone. Melted in Microwave for one minute
1 5 oz Plain Yogurt Always use a Greek Yogurt that is natural without a lot of perservatives. I like Chobani Plain Greek Yogurt
3/4 cup Whole Milk Use a brand where the Ingredients indicate "Made from whole milk or cream and don't list any other ingredients or preservatives. Maple Hill Organic Whole Milk is egg-free. If there is an ingredient for D3 better research is to determine if that D3 is from powdered egg
1 15 oz Canned Pumpkin Libby's Pumpkin has no added preservatives
1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream I use a brand that has no added D3 or any other preservative. Or you can use Organic Valley Heavy Whipping cream because of no added preservatives and Whipping cream will fluff up better when blending.
1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Hot Water The Hot water and vinegar are the last two items you mix into the batter
2 Tbsp Distilled Vinegar The vinegar will activate the baking soda to assist in the rising of the cake

Instructions

Pre-preparation

Preheat the oven by turning on Bake at 355 degrees, Butter and flour each 8 inch round cake pan
355 degrees Oven Temperature. Preheat., 2 8 inch Round Cake Pans, Butter and Flour each pan

Melt the 2 sticks of butter in the microwave for approximately 1 minute in a large mixing bowl.

Set aside the Water and Vinegar as this is the last step before blending
2 sticks Salted Butter, 1 Cup Hot Water, 2 Tbsp Distilled Vinegar
Add all Wet ingredients except for the Water an Vinegar into the same bowl as the melted butter
1 5 oz Plain Yogurt, 3/4 cup Whole Milk, 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream, 1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
Lightly blend the wet ingredients. Then add the Pumpkin and blend it into the wet ingredients.
1 15 oz Canned Pumpkin
Time to add in the Dry ingredients
3 cups Cake Flour, 2 tsp Baking Soda, 1 tsp Salt, 1 cup Brown Sugar, 1/4 cup Pure Cane Sugar, 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar, 1 Tbsp Cinnamon, 1/4 tsp Cloves, 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg, 1/2 tsp Cardamon

After you have added the Dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spoon to stir them together until all dry is blended in. Then you can use the hand mixer to blend it until smooth.

Finally, heat the 1 cup of water in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Then add the vinegar to the water. Slowly stir it into the batter and use the hand mixer to blend until smooth. Now you are ready to pour it equally into the two 8-inch round baking pans. Cook in the oven for approximately 31 minutes. Then test it with a toothpick or fork to make sure the cake is done and lightly press the top to see if it springs back. Remove from the oven and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then remove the cake from the pan and place it on a plate to cool for 1 hour before you either ice it with a Cinnamon spice or Chai cream cheese frosting or lightly dust it with powdered sugar.

Notes

This cake is perfect with coffee. It is an excellent eggless replacement for pumpkin pie. Just add a dollop of homemade whipped cream. You can sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top or you can make your favorite cream cheese frosting and ice it like a cake. I like to serve this after Thanksgiving Dinner and after Christmas Dinner.
