Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves). Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the pumpkin puree.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips and nuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth it into an even layer.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • For a frosting option, you can top this cookie cake with a cream cheese frosting to add an extra layer of sweetness and richness.
  • This recipe is highly customizable; feel free to add other mix-ins like raisins, dried cranberries, or even a handful of oats for extra texture.
