Pumpkin Spice Cake

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
3 egg whites
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons molasses
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1-1/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Whipped cream, optional

Directions
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the pumpkin, corn syrup, molasses and orange peel until blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt; add to pumpkin mixture, beating on low speed just until moistened.
Pour mixture into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream if desired. Yield: 9 servings.
