Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, pumpkin puree, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Preparation
Prepare the Toppings
Once the cake is completely cool, slice it into wedges. Place a slice on each plate.
Add Gelato and Caramel
Top each slice with a scoop of vanilla bean gelato and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
