1 tsp baking powder
4 large eggs (room temperature)
1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure)
1/2 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin puree, condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Once baked, poke holes in the cake and slowly pour the milk mixture over it to soak.
