Add in vanilla, melted butter and pumpkin puree. Stir until incorporated. Add flour, baking powder,salt and spices, stirring until smooth. Stir in milk and divide batter equally between the jars or ramekins.", "3. Place the jars in the water bath pan, put pan into the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Using an oven mitt, remove pan from oven then carefully transfer the jars out of the water bath to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.", "4.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
