Why Coffee and Pumpkin Spice?
Pumpkin spice is a quintessential flavour of autumn, and coffee? Well, it's the perfect companion to any dessert. When combined, they create a harmonious blend of spicy and aromatic goodness that's simply irresistible.
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong coffee (we recommend FireBean Coffee Roasters' aromatic blend!)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for garnish
Steps to Perfection:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a round cake pan.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice mix. Set it aside.
-
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beating well.
-
Mix in the strong coffee and pumpkin puree.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
-
Allow the cake to cool, then garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice.
