Preheat oven to 335° F and prepare cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and parchment circles. See blog post and equipment for pan sizes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Add in pumpkin puree and sour cream. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until combined and smooth.
Portion the batter into the prepared cake pans. Use a kitchen scale for even layers. Spread the cake batter evenly using an offset spatula.
Bake the cakes for approximately 35 minutes until they bounce back when gently touched. Baking times may vary depending on what size cake pans you use.
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Level the cake layers using a serrated knife.
