This pumpkin cake recipe is killer good! Literally the best you’ll ever have. It’s moist, fluffy, full of pumpkin spice and topped with delicious cream cheese frosting. I have never made this cake without the pan being scraped clean at the end.

The best, easy Pumpkin Cake recipe – Love At First Taste

The first time I had it was at a family holiday party. My aunt had made it- she cut the cake into huge pieces. I looked at it thinking it was way too big for me….but then I ate that piece of cake, and even ate another. You gotta trust me- its amazing.

How to make easy Pumpkin Cake

 In your mixing bowl add eggs, oil and pumpkin puree. Then cream them together.

In a separate bowl, mix your dry ingredients together then slowly add them to the pumpkin while mixing. Don’t forget the cinnamon!

I love to line my sheet pans with these parchment sheet papers. If you don’t use them be sure to grease your sheet pan then evenly spread your beautiful pumpkin cake batter out on the sheet pan.

While it is baking make the cream cheese frosting to go with the pumpkin cake!

Pumpkin Cake Cream Cheese Frosting

To start the cream cheese frosting you will need to make sure you have room temperature cream cheese and butter. You want room temp to ensure the smoothest fluffiest cream cheese frosting. Add these together and cream them.

Add in your powder sugar, vanilla extract  and milk.

Mix the frosting for a few minutes while it fluffs up. You’ll have a rich, creamy fluffy cream cheese frosting.

Once the cake is cooled completely add a nice thick decadent layer of cream cheese frosting to your fluffy pumpkin cake!

Cut into large squares (because small ones will never be enough!) and serve to all your guests. Or, eat them all yourself :)
