Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE:
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup of pure pumpkin purée {canned pumpkin}
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup GF all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line pan with non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper. I used an 8x8 inch glass pan.
- In a large bowl, add eggs, butter, and sugar. Mix together.
- Add pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and pure vanilla extract. Mix together.
- Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together.
- Pour batter into pan.
- Bake for about 35 minutes. When a toothpick comes out clean from the center, they're done. Let the cake cool before frosting it.
- To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, and pure vanilla extract until fluffy. Then add in the powdered sugar, and mix well. I recommend using a mixer machine to make the frosting since it makes it smooth and creamy, but you can also mix it together with a spatula.
- Frost the pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting. Enjoy! You can store any leftovers in an airtight container.
