Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups pumpkin puree
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  8. Once the cakes are completely cooled, layer them with the frosting in between and on the top and sides.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, sprinkle some cinnamon on top of the frosting.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for best freshness.
