Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp ground ginger

¼ tsp ground cloves

½ tsp salt

½ cup vegetable oil

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

3 large eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, applesauce, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.

        Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. If you’re using nuts, fold them in gently.

          Pour and Spread: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

            Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Frost the Cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, spread your favorite cream cheese frosting over the top.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy the warm flavors of fall with every bite!
