In reply to Kimberly. Don't use the metrics on this one. I think that's a glitch and I need to fix the plugin. Go with cup measurements for now.

This cake sounds amazing! When I go to print the recipe and switch to metric, there are two different measurements in grams for each ingredient. Am I to use the non bolded measurements or the bold measurements. Thank you!

Made this cake and everyone loved it!! The pumpkin cake was so delicious and moist. I couldn’t find the cinnamon chips (well, I did but they were $9 a bag. Lol.) I made a ganache and added some cinnamon and made a drip. I should have added more cinnamon but I used dark chocolate and the combo with the cake was amazing. I would also add the ganache in between the layers next time with the gingersnap crumble filling. There are comments about the crumble being chewy. I experienced this as well buts it’s still good. I think next time I would spread it out more on the pan while in the oven baking so it was more crispy. If you haven’t made this cake I highly recommend it.

Hello! Will the recipe fit in two 9 inch pans?

The best pumpkin cake in the world! I make it every fall and fall in love with it all over again. The flavors are so perfect and it’s so delicious!

This cake turned out exquisite! Autumn in my mouth! I made a couple changes. I added a tsp of ground cloves to the sponge, and multiplied the frosting by 1.5 but only used 6 cups of sugar, and it came out to the perfect sweetness.

The crumble gave me some trouble. After ten minutes it was not nearly done so I put it back in for another ten, and it still needed more. Put it in for another 5 mins and it came out delicious. (Altogether around 25 mins). I would have left it in for five more mins for maximum crispness, but it was just starting to burn so I took it out, and it’s just a bit chewy in places but still fantastic! Perhaps it took longer to crisp because I used dark brown sugar? I figured you used that since you specified light brown in the cake.

Bravo, Courtney!

In reply to Sarah.

Sarah,
I had the same issue with the crumble. I made a second batch and used cold butter instead of melted
butter and mixed it with a pastry blender. I omitted the molasses all together, but I bet you could add it just not the full 3 tablespoons. It made a great crumble:)

In reply to Hayley. I just fixed it! Some of our grams are off from a technical problem so we are trying to make sure we fix them all! Thanks for letting me know!

Hi, Courtney! I love your cakes, and they always turn out great for me! This one gave me problems though. When I made the cakes the first time, I weighed the ingredients, and I think the weight is off for the baking powder. The cakes didn’t rise at all. 🙁 All your other pumpkin cake recipes call for 16g or so of baking powder, but this recipe only says 6g. I made them again and used 16g, and they came out perfectly. Just wanted to share!

In reply to Sarah. You want them to be a golden color when they have baked long enough. They should be crunchy.

This cake was delicious and easy to make and assemble. My only question is about the crumble. I made it twice and it was chewy both times. There’s too much moisture somehow and I increased the amount of ginger snaps the second time but I still got the same result. Do you have a suggestion? Should it be very spread out on the sheet pan? How can I tell when it’s baked enough? Thanks!

In reply to Annie. Bake them separately.

This is my all time favorite fall cake! I’m going to try making it using your 9×13 and 8×8 method. Just wondering, do I bake both of those pans at the same time? Or one before the other?

In reply to Katelyn. I fixed the recipe! I'm not sure why the molasses was not showing up! It has 3 tbsp of molasses!

LOOOOVE this cake! My crumble did not turn out the same the this time though and I think it’s because there’s no molasses on the list of ingredients… I swear there was molasses in the past. Did you change the recipe??

By: Lauren

Lauren — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 14:24:38 +0000

I need to start printing your recipes, because this recipe used to have molasses in the crumble, but it’s gone. I’m making it right now and I’m going to have to guess. This cake is a family favorite for us!

In reply to Nari.

I’m sorry to hear that. This cake should rise quite nicely. It has a fluffy, flavorful texture. Lots of pumpkin and spice in it. There’s a couple reasons your cake may not have risen – your baking powder is older than 6 months old, you over mixed the batter, or your internal oven temperature is off from what it’s telling you on your screen. Could any of those happened?

Hi Courtney I love your cakes! Usually your recipes are a hit however this one wasn’t quite a success the cakes didn’t rise correctly actually they didn’t rise at all. 🙁

In reply to Jennifer. I only freeze the cake after the crumb coat and then again once I've frosted the cake and placed the board on top.

Jennifer — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 01:07:44 +0000

Do you freeze the cake again (after drop)before adding the icing border? It looks divine
