Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (a blend of nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger)
1 cup canola or vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups confectionersβ sugar, plus an additional 1/4 cup if a thicker consistency is desired
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and prepare your 9Γ13-inch pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
2-In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice to ensure theyβre evenly mixed.
3-Next, in another bowl, combine the wet ingredients by beating the oil, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4-Slowly add the dry mix to the wet one, stirring just until combined to avoid a tough cake.
5-Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
6-Once baked, let it cool completely before adding the frosting, which you make by blending softened cream cheese, butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt until creamy.
