  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
