By á-8031

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temp
• 3 cups flour
• 5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 can pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 TBSP lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350. Use PAM on bunt pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the pumpkin puree, milk and molasses (the mixture may appear curdled). Reduce the mixture speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just combined ( do not over mix).
Pour the batter into the pre parted pan for 55-60 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and drizzle over the cake. Set before serving.
