Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake
This is basically the cake equivalent of the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! I was super careful when testing it out, so that the coffee and the pumpkin flavors would be balanced and be faithful to the original latte. The cake is more pumpkin-y, and the buttercream has a stronger coffee flavor to it, but when paired together they create an amazing cake packed with coffee and pumpkin goodness! I used Starbucks VIVA instant coffee to keep it as Starbucks-like as possible, and placed it in a Starbucks mug to make it even more latte-like!
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake
This is basically the cake equivalent of the Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks! A dense pumpkin coffee cake with light and fluffy buttercream. So delicious and perfect for fall.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 can plain pumpkin puree 420g (not fresh puree – it gets too runny)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp powdered instant coffee
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¾ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp allspice
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 4 cups confectioner’s sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp powdered instant coffee
- 5 tbsp plain canned pumpkin puree
- sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, butter and instant coffee together in a large bowl. Then mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, allspice and cloves together in a separate bowl, and add to the pumpkin mixture and mix together.
- Pour into a buttered, 9×5 inch loaf pan, and bake for 75-80 minutes at 350 degrees until fully cooked. Allow it to cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a cooling rack.
- Make the buttercream by whipping together the butter, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, instant coffee and pumpkin in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Cut the loaf into slices, and then squirt a small amount of buttercream into the bottom of the mug, and then layer the slices into a Starbucks mug with buttercream in between each layer, until you reach the top of the mug. Then in a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped piping tip, pipe on some more buttercream to look like whip cream and sprinkle on some cinnamon.
