| 1. | Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 13×9-inch (3 L) metal cake pan with parchment paper or foil; butter foil, if using. |
| 2. | In a bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, pumpkin seeds (if using), cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer beat butter, sugar and eggs until well blended; beat in pumpkin, yogurt and vanilla. Using a spoon, stir in dry ingredients alternating with milk, making 3 additions of dry and 2 of milk, just until incorporated. |
