Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- I use full fat cream cheese, but you can use low fat if you want. Make sure to soften it to room temperature.
- I love The Spice Hunter brand!

- Make sure that you are using canned pumpkin puree, and not pumpkin pie filling!
- If you like chocolate chips, you can add chocolate chips to the base cake recipe as a last step before baking!

- For the most beautiful looking frosting, use an offset spatula. A rubber spatula will also work, though it may not be as easy to maneuver.
