- In a separate bowl whisk together the canned pumpkin, oil, eggs and sugar until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk again until just combined.

Cream Cheese Frosting
- Add the butter and powdered sugar to the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat on a medium speed until super smooth and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes. You can also use an electric hand whisk for this.
- Add the cream cheese and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and thickened – about another 2 minutes.
Decorate Cake
- Spoon the cream cheese frosting on top of the cooled cake and spread out with an offset spatula.
- Slice the cake into squares to serve. Place a fondant pumpkin on top of each square for decoration if desired.
