Pumpkin Cake with Apple Top
Share recipe
Description
This is my own idea for a pumpkin cake, based on my favorite carrot cake recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 3 egg whites, beaten
- 1 apple - peeled, cored, and sliced
- 2 teaspoons white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch round cake pan.
- 2. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon zest, and ginger in a large bowl. Add the egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and oil; mix until smooth. Gently stir the egg whites into the batter; pour into prepared pan. Arrange the apple slices atop the batter; sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
- 3. Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
