Ingredients
  

Cake:

  • cups (305 grams) canned pumpkin
  • 1 cup (220 grams) firmly packed light brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
  • cup (160 grams) sour cream, room temperature
  • cup (149 grams) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs (100 grams), room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons (6 grams) espresso powder
  • 2 teaspoons (8 grams) vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons (12 grams) pumpkin pie spice
  • teaspoons (4.5 grams) kosher salt
  • teaspoons (6.25 grams) baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.25 grams) baking soda

Glaze:

  • cups (210 grams) confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons (45 grams) sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons (10 grams) water
  • 1 teaspoon (4 grams) vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • For cake: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, sour cream, oil, eggs, espresso powder, and vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pie spice, salt, baking powder, pepper, and baking soda. Gradually whisk flour mixture into pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  • Spray a 10-cup fluted tube pan with baking spray with flour. Using a pastry brush, brush spray into nooks of pan. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Tap pan on a kitchen towel-lined counter several times to settle batter and release any air bubbles.
  • Bake until a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean and an instant-read thermometer inserted near center registers 200°F (93°C) to 205°F (96°C), 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a wire rack, and let cool completely.
  • For glaze: In a small bowl, stir together confectioners’ sugar, sour cream, 2 teaspoons (10 grams) water, vanilla, and salt until smooth and well combined; spoon onto cooled cake. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
