Ingredients
For the Cake
- 4 Cups granulated sugar
- 2 Cups vegetable oil
- 8 eggs
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 Cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 Cup cocoa powder
- 3 Cups hot water
- 4 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
For the Frosting
- 16 oz cream cheese softened, room temperature
- 15 oz pumpkin puree
- 5 Cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 Cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray 6 8-inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray and line the bottom of each pan with a circle of parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients and then add all the dry ingredients and stir to combine until just mixed but smooth. Do not overmix.
- Divide batter evenly between the six cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- Set cake aside to let it cool in the pans for 30 minutes to an hour, and then drag a knife along the outside of the cake to make sure it isn’t sticking to the pan at all before removing the cake from the pan.
- Level the cakes using a leveler to remove the curved top. Toss top, or use in another recipe like cake pops or cake truffles.
- Using a hand-held mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth.
- Slowly add in the powdered sugar and blend until all the sugar is incorporated.
- Add in the pumpkin and heavy cream and blend with a mixer.
- Reserve a small amount of icing/filling if you want to decorate the top of the cake with an icing bag.
- To assemble the cake, start with one of the layers top side down on a cake plate.
- Add 1/6 of the filling to the top, and spread it evenly over the cake.
- Repeat this process with the remaining cake layers and the filling.
- Scrape the filling along the outside of the cake to lightly frost it.
- Decorate the top of the cake if desired.
