Easy and delicious homemade pound cake recipe with pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice.

It’s pumpkin season and Halloween is practically days away, but it’s never too late to make this pumpkin pound cake.

This recipe is so easy, but so good.

The aroma of the pumpkin pie spice lingered in the kitchen but the taste is even better.

The cake is moist, utterly buttery, with just the right amount of sugar.

We topped the cake with some sliced almonds and that completely elevated the pumpkin pound cake into a new realm as every bite was nutty with a nice crunch and texture.

Go to the store and buy a can of pumpkin puree now…I assure you that this pumpkin pound cake recipe is a keeper.

It’s something you will want to make over and over again, not just for Fall or Halloween, but any time of the year.

Enjoy!

Ingredients  

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, + 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 cup milk, + 2 tablespoons
  • 1/2 cup sliced almond

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Grease four mini loaf pans and set them aside.
  • Combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine the sugar and butter in a bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until creamy. Continue beating, adding the eggs one at a time, until well mixed. Add the pumpkin and continue beating until well combined. Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beating at low speed until well mixed.
  • Spoon the batter into the loaf pans and top with the sliced almonds. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.

Notes

You may use a regular loaf pan to make the pumpkin pound cake, or double the measurement above to make a big pumpkin pound cake using a 12-cup Bundt pan.

    Hello, could you make cupcakes out of this recipe or would you need to add anything

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Joanne. Yes, you can make these into cupcakes, but cut down the baking time in half. Check for doneness with a toothpick or cocktail stick. If not done, return to oven for a few minutes until done.

  2. Shampa Rice says:

    May I omit the white flour and instead us whole grain flour ? like Quinoa, oats, wheat please ?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Shampa. It is advisable to substitute no more than one-third of all-purpose flour with any of the whole grain flours that you have mentioned. Please bear in mind that the whole grain flours are heavy, and will cause the cake to be very dense if completely swapped out.

    Good

  4. Vera voo says:

    Can I omit the pumpkin pie mix ? Not available in my country.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      You can but pumpkin pie spice is made of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg and ground cloves.

  5. Nancy Eddy says:

    Looks delicious and I love anything to do with pumpkin. I will give it a try but I’m not good when it comes to cup measurement, kindly are you able to put the measurement in grams/ozs., please.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Hi Nancy, you can buy the measuring cups from Tesco or any baking stores. I do not have measurement in grams/oz in this recipe. This pumpkin pound cake is absolutely yummy!
