Pumpkin Cake

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat a baking pan on the lowest rack. Grease an 8” Bundt pan.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, pumpkin puree, molasses, maple syrup, and sugars until small specks of butter remain. Add in the vanilla and eggs, beating well to fully incorporate. Drizzle in the whey and mix well. Add in half of the flour mixture and stir until almost fully incorporated, then add in the rest. Mix on low speed. Do not overmix.
4. Pour batter into the greased Bundt pan. Throw the ice cubes into the baking pan on the lower rack and bake the cake on the center rack for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and barely moist.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the cream and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, powdered sugar, and meringue powder to make the glaze.
6. Once the cake has baked, remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Pour the cream mixture over the cake, drizzling it over the entire surface. The cream should soak into the cake.
7. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto the wire rack, then cool completely before drizzling on the glaze. Serve immediately or refrigerate to allow the glaze to set.
