This Pumpkin Magic Cake creates three distinct layers from one batter and pairs perfectly with whipped cream for a show-stopping fall dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin purée (100% pure pumpkin)
  • 2 cups whole milk, warmed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Whipped cream for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease your 9×9-inch baking pan lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Separate the eggs: Place the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another. Set the whites aside for now.
  3. Using a whisk, beat the egg yolks together with the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the pumpkin purée and pumpkin spice to the yolk mixture. Stir until combined.
  5. Sift the flour and salt into the mixture and gently fold it in to avoid lumps.
  6. Gradually add the warmed milk to the batter while whisking continuously. The batter will be thin – that’s exactly what you want!
  7. In a separate bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in three batches. Be careful not to deflate the air – this step ensures the layers form during baking.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly firm. It will jiggle a bit in the center – don’t worry, it sets as it cools.
  11. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

[‘Make sure your bowl is grease-free before whipping egg whites to ensure they fluff up perfectly.’, ‘Warm milk is key for the custard layer; cold milk may prevent the layers from forming correctly.’, ‘Be gentle when folding the egg whites into the batter to maintain the airy texture.’, ‘Let the cake cool completely before slicing to allow the layers to set properly.’, ‘Dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra polished look.’]
