Ingredients

Scale
  • 360 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 450 g dark brown sugar
  • 560 g pumpkin purée room temperature
  • 150 g oil room temperature
  • 4 eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 300 g butter
  • 150 g full-fat cream cheese
  • 540 g powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 170ºC 340ºF and prepare three 20 cm 8 inch pans by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the all-purpose flour, dark brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture by folding them together with a whisk or spatula until no flour remains.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 23 to 25 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  6. Cool the cakes on a rack for 5 minutes before carefully removing from pans and letting them cool completely.
  7. Before frosting, soften the butter by cutting it into cubes and sifting the powdered sugar.
  8. Cream the butter in a mixer on high speed for 5 minutes, scrape the bowl sides, and mix again for 2 minutes.
  9. Blend in cinnamon, vanilla, and cream cheese until well combined, about 1 minute.
  10. Add the powdered sugar in two parts on low speed, scraping the bowl between additions, then beat for 2 more minutes on medium speed.
  11. Assemble the cake by placing the first layer on a serving dish, spreading a generous amount of frosting, then repeating with remaining layers.
  12. Cover the cake with the remaining frosting, smooth it out, and optionally create a wavy design and decorate with cinnamon or fondant pumpkins.

Notes

  • For crisp tops, broil 2–3 minutes at the end
