Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan

1¾ cups unbleached all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

4 teaspoons instant espresso powder, plus more for dusting

1½ teaspoons pumpkin-pie spice

¾ teaspoon kosher salt

2 large eggs, room temperature

¾ cup pure pumpkin purée

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup packed light-brown sugar

⅔ cup whole milk, room temperature

1½ cups heavy cream

3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Butter a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan. Line bottom with parchment; butter parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, instant espresso powder, pumpkin-pie spice, and salt. In another bowl, whisk eggs into pumpkin purée, then whisk in butter, sugars, and milk.
