How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cake

STEP ONE – Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and spray a 9×13 pan with non-stick spray, set aside.

STEP TWO – In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, pumpkin puree, and 3 eggs.

STEP THREE – Pour cake mixture into 9×13 pan and smooth out evenly.

STEP FOUR – Bake for 28-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.

STEP FIVE – Meanwhile, prepare your frosting. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese 1-2 minutes, until smooth.

STEP SIX – Add in powdered sugar and vanilla. Mix together until smooth and well combined.

STEP SEVEN – In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream for 4-5 minutes, until whipped cream is formed.

STEP EIGHT – Add whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture, and mix until well combined, 1-2 minutes more.

STEP NINE – Once cake has baked and cooled completely, frost and enjoy!
