As the leaves turn golden and the air gets crisp, there’s nothing quite like the warmth of a homemade cake to celebrate the autumn season. Today, I’m excited to share a delightful recipe for an Autumn Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting that will fill your kitchen with the comforting scents of fall spices.
Autumn Spice Cake
This cake is not just a treat for your taste buds; it also looks stunning on any dessert table. The rich flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves bring the essence of fall right into your home.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
- Add the vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
