Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Brown sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Buttermilk
• 2 cup Whipped cream
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour four 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
6. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of whipped cream on top. Repeat with the remaining cake layers and whipped cream. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top.
7. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
