Pumpkin Magic Custard Cake Recipe (2024)

Pumpkin Magic Custard Cake Recipe – very easy to make, this cake has fall flavors and custard-like texture.

I’m pretty sure some of you have already heard of magic custard cakes. I’ve made the vanilla and chocolate versions many times. I never thought to post the recipe, because it is so popular already, but now I added pumpkin to it and thought this Pumpkin Spice Magic Custard Cake Recipe was worth sharing.

What is a Magic Custard Cake?

This is a very unique cake, that is made with “runny” cake like batter and results in a dessert with a fudgy cake layer, a custard layer in the middle and a sponge cake layer on top. This magic custard pumpkin cake version does not show the layers the way a regular custard layer magic cake does.
