1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
3 large eggs (room temperature)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
