Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Since my family has been requesting pumpkin desserts already this fall, I figured I would make them a homemade pumpkin cake to enjoy over the weekend. The hubby, Cierra, and I polished off the Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes that I made way too quickly. Hopefully this yummy pumpkin cake can last a bit longer but I have my doubts, ha ha.

I love cream cheese with pumpkin. I prefer a butter cream frosting on regular cupcakes. Fall flavors are so comforting. For years, I was not very big on pumpkin. I think I just didn’t give it a try with different combinations. After having pumpkin and cream cheese, I was hooked.

This Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese frosting really delivers. The moisture level was perfect. Then the thick layer of cream cheese frosting on top takes this cake to another level of deliciousness. I cut our cake pieces a bit small hoping it would last through the weekend with this gang. The pieces were a perfect sized serving. The small pieces will make them great for feeding a crowd at a holiday gathering or office party. PERFECT!

The star of the show in this recipe happens to be the pumpkin and the cream cheese. So super simple and you most likely have the other ingredients on hand. Toss this cake in the oven and have your home smelling like fall in no time at all.

    I’m so glad I found your website. I like that you use common ingredients (not fancy stuff) that I usually have on hand or that are not expensive to make recipes we eat and like! Thanks.

    I don’t have any vegetable oil, can I switch it out for coconut oil? Or does it have to be vegetable?
