Servings: 12
Ingredients
Cake
- 1/2 cup canola oil (can use any mild oil)
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup milk (can sub in water)
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Glaze
- 2 cups icing sugar, sifted
- 3 tbsp Belgian Moon Wheat Ale
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp orange extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray your loaf pan; set aside
- In a large bowl, mix together oil and sugar; add eggs and whisk together well and then add in pumpkin and milk and whisk to combine well.
- Sprinkle flour over top of the wet mixture and continue to sprinkle dry ingredients (baking soda and spices) over flour and whisk into wet mixture making sure all of the spices are distributed evenly. Use a spatula to make sure the sides are scarped down all all of the mix is uniformly combined.
- Scrape batter into the loaf pan and give the pan a good bang on the counter (that will ensure the mix will go into all the crevices and the pattern will come out clean); place in the middle of your oven and bake for 60-70 minutes (the top will rise and will gently 'give' when pressed gently).
- When baking is complete, remove from oven and leave to cool on the counter. After about 15 minutes, cut top of loaf to ensure a flat bottom when turning over. After about 30 minutes, turn over on a cooling rack to finish cooling
- In a small bowl, stir together icing sugar, cinnamon and beer until combined; add in extract (if using), stir again and drizzle over cake. Serve!!
