Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six 8-ounce mason jars with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture.
-
Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared mason jars, filling each jar about halfway full. Wipe off any excess batter from the rims of the jars for a tidy presentation.
-
Place the filled jars on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
-
Remove the jars from the oven and let them cool slightly. Top each cake with a dollop of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
