Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and grease three 8-inch cake pans with non-stick baking spray.

  5. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until smooth, then fold in pumpkin puree.
  6. Divide about 1 cup of batter into each prepared pan and sprinkle cinnamon sugar swirl over each.
  7. Gently swirl the batter and spoon remaining batter over the cinnamon sugar.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
