Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Mix in the canned pumpkin puree until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
In a small saucepan, prepare the pumpkin topping by melting 1/4 cup of butter over low heat. Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and stir until dissolved, then pour the mixture into the greased cake pan.
-
Carefully pour the cake batter over the pumpkin topping in the pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
-
Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, then place a serving plate on top of the pan and invert the cake onto the plate. Be cautious as the pan will still be hot.
-
Serve your Pumpkin Upside Down Cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
