{"0":"Preheat an oven to 350\u00b0F and position an oven rack in the center. Butter the base and sides of two 8-inch cake pans with 2-inch sides. Dust with flour. Line the bottom with parchment paper.","2":"To prepare the pumpkin spice cake: In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and salt.","4":"In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the granulated and brown sugars and oil until just combined. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until well combined after each addition. Add the pumpkin, vanilla and orange zest until just combined. Add the flour mixture, stirring until just incorporated.","6":"Using a silicone spatula, divide the batter between the 2 prepared pans, smoothing the top and making a slight dip in the center. Place pans on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake, until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes."}
