Best Pumpkin Cake EVER

 Today I'm sharing one of my VERY FAVORITE cake recipes of all time.  It's so easy, so tasty and is a total crowd pleaser.  I feel like I make this 3-4 times a month in the Fall for our family, to take to a function or to pass along to a friend. 



What You'll Need...
- 15 oz can of pumpkin
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- two cups of sugar
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons softened butter
- 3 oz softened cream cheese
- 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- milk (just a few tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Step 1 - Combine the pumpkin, vegetable oil and sugar.  


Step 2 - Beat 4 eggs and mix them in with the pumpkin, oil and sugar.

 
Step 3 - In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg salt.


Step 4 - Combine the dry ingredients into the wet and pour it into a greased 9x13 pan
Step 5 - Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.


Step 6 - After the cake is completely cool,  beat together the softened butter cream cheese and then add in the vanilla and beat until smooth.

Step 7 - Gradually add in the powdered sugar and beat it until combined.  Turn your mixer on high and add in milk a tbsp at a time until the icing is fluffy and "spreadable".





And because I can't take a recipe pic without children coming up to me with a fork to sample :)

  4. I basically do this same cake, but I use a box of spice cake instead. I may give this one a try, though! Thank you for sharing!

  5. This looks delicious!! I'm going to make it this weekend and add pecans too. I don't see where it says how much vanilla....I'm assuming a teaspoon is plenty.

  7. Thank you so much for this recipe! I made it last weekend for company and it was delicious! The whipped cream cheese frosting was such a nice complement to the texture of the cake. I am not a pumpkin pie fan so this will be one of my "go to" desserts for the upcoming holidays. Thanks again from Washington state!

  8. The ingredients list doesn't say vanilla, but the instructions do. Could you let me know how much vanilla the frosting gets? Thank you!
