Pumpkin cake recipes for seasonal baking

Various recipes for pumpkin-based cakes are available for seasonal baking, including gluten-free and vegan options.

A gluten-free pumpkin crumb cake recipe utilizes a measure-for-measure flour and melted butter to create bakery-style crumbs. The process involves mixing sugars, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter before gently incorporating flour with a fork to maintain texture. The cake can be made dairy-free by using plant-based milk and dairy-free butter, and it is freezer-friendly for up to three months.

An alternative vegan pumpkin cake recipe features a one-bowl batter and a two-ingredient ganache. This version includes a pumpkin spice buttercream filling and can be prepared in approximately 55 minutes. For those using homemade pumpkin puree instead of canned, it is recommended to strain the puree through cheesecloth to manage moisture levels.
