Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the entire surface of the cake.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cake in an even layer.
- Let the cake cool completely, about 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled cake.
- Sprinkle sea salt evenly over the whipped cream topping.
- Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for optimal flavor in the cake.
- Evenly distribute the holes and pour sweetened condensed coconut milk slowly for best absorption.
- Adjust sea salt to taste for a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness in the topping.
