1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan to make sure everything cooks evenly and doesn’t stick.

2-In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice; sift them if you can for a smoother batter.

3-In another bowl, whisk the eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla extract until everything blends well.

4-Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones, taking care not to overbeat this keeps the cake light and fluffy.

5-If you’re making changes for dietary reasons, swap in your substitutes here, like flax eggs for vegan options.

6-Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula for an even bake.

7-Bake it in the oven for 45-50 minutes, checking with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean.

8-Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then move it to a wire rack.

9-Once it’s fully cooled, add the frosting or serve it plain the choice is yours for a fresh treat.
