Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While waiting for the oven, lightly butter and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. I personally prefer using parchment paper over flour for a mess-free removal of the cake.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Ensuring these dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed at this stage will help distributed the flavors evenly in your cake.
In a separate bowl, stir together the oil and pumpkin puree until well combined. I assure you, the secret to the splendid moistness of this cake is this luscious pumpkin-oil duo!
Beat in the eggs into the pumpkin mixture one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before the addition of the next.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the pumpkin mixture. Stir just enough to incorporate everything - do not over mix as it can result in a tougher cake texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to fully cool before applying the frosting. This is to prevent the frosting from melting off.
