  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil

  • 2 teaspoon vanilla

Frosting

  • ½ cup butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoon cream or milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • teaspoon instant coffee granules crushed
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 13X18 inch sheet pan with baking spray.
  • Whisk dry ingredients in a bowl.
  • Combine wet ingredients in a separate, larger bowl. Mix until smooth.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until just combined being careful not to over mix.
  • Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes. The cake is done when tester comes out clean. While the cake is baking prepare frosting.

Frosting

  • Combine butter, brown sugar, cream or milk, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 7-10 minutes. Mixture should still be warm.
  • Add vanilla, crushed coffee granules, and cinnamon to mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Using a mixer or hand beaters, slowly beat in powdered sugar. Increase speed until thoroughly combined and smooth. Thin as needed with extra cream or milk.
  • While both the cake and frosting are still warm, but not hot, pour frosting directly onto cake. Spread from edge to edge. It will be a thin layer but will cover completely.
  • For optimal moistness refrigerate overnight.
