Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups pumpkin puree
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing as this can make the cake dense.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition until the frosting is smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 9

Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top using a spatula.

Step 10

Slice and serve your Easy Autumn Pumpkin Spice Cake!
