Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

Cake:

  • 1 (15 ounce) can canned pumpkin puree

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix with pudding

  • 2 large eggs

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting:

  • 4 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Make cake: Whisk together pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a large bowl until combined. Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil in a separate large bowl until smooth. Fold pumpkin mixture and vanilla into egg mixture until combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Make frosting: Beat together cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in cinnamon and vanilla.

  5. Spread frosting over cooled cake.
