Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices.

Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture. Mix just until combined.

Bake: Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Serve: Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and cut into squares.

For an extra moist pumpkin cake use 100% pumpkin puree rather than pumpkin pie filling. You can also refrigerate the frosted cake for a firmer, creamier texture.
