Ingredients

Servings

For the cake

  • 4 large egg
  • 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 15 ounces pumpkin
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the frosting:

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

For the cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans.
  2. Add the eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat together on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Stir in the pumpkin.
  3. Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and beat together until well combined.
  4. Pour batter into prepared cake pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
  5. Cool cake completely before frosting.

For the frosting:

  1. Add the butter, cinnamon, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and cream and beat on low speed until incorporated. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add additional cream to reach the desired consistency, if needed.
  3. Spread 1 cup of frosting between the cake layers and frost the tops and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
