Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- Pinch of cream of tartar
- 1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Melt butter and set aside to cool slightly.
- Warm the milk until lukewarm, then set aside.
- Separate eggs; beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat yolks with confectioner’s sugar until pale and creamy. Mix in melted butter and vanilla.
- Add flour, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to the yolk mixture, then slowly mix in pumpkin puree.
- Gradually whisk in lukewarm milk.
- Gently fold in egg whites; batter will be thin with lumps.
- Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden and the cake is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Let the cake cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the egg whites are beaten until stiff peaks form for the best fluffy top layer.
- The cake will firm up as it cools, so allow it to cool completely before cutting.
