Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F for conventional or 325 °F for convection. Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger in a mixing bowl. Stir well. Set aside for step 4.
  • Combine the pumpkin, brown sugar, and oil in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment at medium-high speed for 2 minutes.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, and continue beating on medium speed until the eggs are incorporated.
  • Add dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix.
  • Pour batter (about 3 lb 5 oz or 1 qt 2 cups) into a half steam table pan (12" x 10" x 2 ½") lightly coated with pan release spray.
    For 50 servings, use 2 half steam table pans.
    For 100 servings, use 4 half steam table pans.
  • Bake until golden brown:
    Conventional oven: 350 °F for 30-35 minutes.
    Convection oven: 325 °F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Portion: Cut each pan 5 x 5 (25 pieces per pan).
    Serve 1 piece (2" x 3 ¾").
