Instructions
Pumpkin Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease & lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- In a separate large bowl beat the oil, sugars, vanilla, and eggs using an electric mixer. Then beat in the sour cream and pumpkin puree.
- With the mixer on low speed, beat in the flour mixture careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a large bowl beat the butter, cream cheese, and vanilla until soft. Then slowly beat in 3 cups of powdered sugar.
- If the frosting seems too thin, beat in an extra ½ cup powdered sugar. If it seems too thick, beat in 1 tablespoon of heavy cream.
- Frost the cooled cake using a flat knife. Cut into slices, and optionally top each piece with chopped walnuts.
Notes
- Store leftover unfrosted cake in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze unfrosted cake wrapped tightly in clingfilm and frozen. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
