Description
Pumpkin Cobbler is the coziest fall dessert, a soft, spiced cake on top with gooey caramel sauce underneath. It’s warm, comforting, and ridiculously easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- —
- 1 cup brown sugar (topping)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (topping)
- 1 ½ cups hot water (topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and spices.
3. Add canned pumpkin, oil, and vanilla. Stir until well combined. The batter will be thick.
4. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking dish.
5. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the batter.
6. Carefully pour hot water evenly over the entire top—don’t stir.
7. Bake uncovered for 50–55 minutes. The cake will rise and a sauce will form underneath.
8. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- This is best served warm the same day, but leftovers reheat well.
- Don’t stir the topping once you add the water, just trust the process.
- You can prep the batter and topping ahead of time and bake fresh.
