Pumpkin Magic Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter an 8 x 8 cake pan, set aside.
2. 2
   Melt the butter and set aside. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks.
3. 3
   Beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and light, about 5-6 minutes. Mix in the melted butter and water and combine. Add the flour, mixing well to break down any lumps. Beat in the milk and vanilla.
4. 4
   Add the pumpkin and pumpkin spice and whisk until smooth. Slowly add the egg whites 1/2 at a time, whisking gently until smooth.
5. 5
   Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Set the pan on a baking tray and bake for about 45-50 minutes. The top will still be a little jiggly but will set upon cooling.
6. 6
   Cool completely before slicing into squares and dusting with some more confectioners sugar.
