Pumpkin Cake Recipe
My house has been filled this last week with the aroma of pumpkin spice. Bring on #allthepumpkin. I seriously can’t get enough pumpkin this time of year. But today I am here to bring you the absolute BEST pumpkin cake. I have had a lot of pumpkin cakes in my life, but this one was hands down the best. It is the so incredibly moist and tender with the perfect amount of spice. You have GOT to make it.
PLUS the cream cheese whipping cream frosting is EPIC!! If you have not tried whipping cream with cream cheese it is seriously to die for. It helps to stabilize the whip cream, and it is seriously the best, creamiest, fluffiest delicious frosting on top of the cake. You are going to love it.
How do I make an easy pumpkin cake recipe?
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 inch pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl add eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree and beat until smooth.
- In another mixing bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add to the wet ingredients and combine thoroughly.
- Pour into your prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Remove and allow to cool.
- Once the cake is cool, make the cream cheese whipping cream frosting. Add softened cream cheese, whipping cream, and powdered sugar to a large bowl. Beat until stiff peaks form and it is set. Spread it over the cooled cake. Store in the refrigerator.

Can you use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of plain pumpkin ?
Yes, that will be great too!

Alyssa, Thanks for sharing the recipe, I lost my sisters and was trying to do it by memory when I found yours. It is very similar.
Quick question before I get going… is it really only 1 ounce of cream cheese in the whip cream frosting?
So glad that you found mine! Yes, you are correct it is 1 package of 8 ounce cream cheese.
