Grease and flour a 9&#215;13-inch baking dish or two 9-inch round cake pans to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n<li>In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. This ensures the spices and leavening agents are evenly distributed.<\/li>\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Blend until smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Mix on medium speed until well incorporated.<\/li>\n<li>Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cake\u2019s texture.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish or divide between the cake pans. Use a spatula to smooth the top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you&#8217;re using two pans, check after 20 minutes as the layers will bake more quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Allow the cake to cool in the pan(s) for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare_the_Cream_Cheese_Frosting\"><\/span><em>Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting:<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to prevent a sugar cloud. Once all the sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li>Increase the speed to high and beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add milk or cream, one tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assemble_the_Cake\"><\/span><em>Assemble the Cake:<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>If you&#8217;re making a layered cake, level the tops of your cakes with a serrated knife to create a flat surface.<\/li>\n<li>Place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top. If using a single sheet cake, simply spread the frosting over the entire surface.<\/li>\n<li>For layered cakes, place the second layer on top and cover the entire cake with frosting, smoothing it with an offset spatula.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>Optionally, you can decorate the cake with a dusting of cinnamon on top for an extra touch of autumn flair.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/best-pumpkin-cake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pumpkin Cake<\/a> with Luscious Cream Cheese Frosting is not only a simple and joyful bake but also a beautiful centerpiece for your autumn gatherings.
