Making Pumpkin Spice Cake
This spicy and fragrant pumpkin cake is going to become a fall favorite! I start this recipe with a simple cake batter: butter, sugar and eggs. Next, it’s time for the pumpkin puree. This recipe has 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree so you’re getting so much flavor with every bite! The pumpkin also makes the cake layers so delicate and moist! To add the spice in spice cake, I season the batter with loads of ground cinnamon and a bit of nutmeg and all-spice.
Make sure to let the pumpkin spice cake layers cool completely before frosting with the simple, creamy cream cheese frosting! It’s a combination of whipped cream and cream cheese, so it’s super light and fluffy! Mix together the cream cheese by itself with a bit of cream first so it’s nice and smooth. Adding the cream cheese straight into the cream can cause clumps to form. Want a true cream cheese frosting with butter? Check out my ‘Cream Cheese Frosting’ recipe. This frosting will also work well for this pumpkin cake!
Garnishing the Cake
I had so much fun garnishing this pumpkin cake with little bits of everything – caramel pearls, chopped nuts and caramel sauce. You can add whatever you like on top to make this cake extra special. If you want to make your own caramel sauce, I have a great recipe for that, too. Check out my ‘Homemade Caramel Sauce’ recipe for more details! It’s super easy and the best caramel sauce you’ll ever make!
