With some homemade pumpkin puree lurking at the corner of my fridge, I decided to use it for making eggless pumpkin cake. The outcome was a moist, fluffy baked delight which melted in the mouth with every bite. Most cakes tend to turn dry after few days ā but not this cake. It remains moist throughout! With buttercream frosting for company, eggless pumpkin cake is bound to make your sweet tooth sing! Next time, Iām planning to swap refined sugar with brown sugar for a pleasant caramel flavors. This will surely make the sweet tooth sing louder!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe. Due to diary/milk allergies, I used coconut milk and coconut yogurt in place of milk and yogurt. I also used Earth Balance Original Spread for butter (1/4 cup), and only put half a cup of sugar. The result is a vegan pumpkin cake that is not so sweet but moist and yummy!! Everyone loved it, including my picky kids!! Thanks!!
