Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Pumpkin Cake with Apple Topping.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C). Grab a 9-inch round cake pan and give it a light greasing to ensure your cake comes out easily later on. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon zest, and ginger. This blend of spices will fill your kitchen with a delightful aroma!
Step 2
Next, add the egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until you have a smooth batter. Now, gently fold in the beaten egg whites, being careful not to deflate them too much. This will give your cake a lovely light texture. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 3
Now for the star of the show: the apples! Arrange the sliced apples on top of the batter, creating a beautiful pattern. To finish it off, sprinkle the apple slices with a little white sugar and cinnamon for that extra touch of sweetness and spice.
Step 4
Pop the cake into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for a bit before transferring it to a wire rack. This cake is best enjoyed warm, but it’s also delicious at room temperature!
