Pumpkin Spice Cake with Honey Frosting :jack_o_lantern:

Prep Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
Servings: 9

Ingredients:

For the Cake

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)

2 teaspoons baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (or 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, ¾ teaspoon ginger, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, and ⅛ teaspoon each allspice and cloves)

2 large eggs

1 ½ cups sugar

1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin puree

For the Honey Frosting

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very soft

1 bar (8 ounces) regular (or reduced-fat) cream cheese, very soft

¼ cup honey

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, butter, and pumpkin puree until combined. Add dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, and mix gently until smooth.

Turn batter into prepared pan, and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool cake for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out of the pan, and cool completely, right side up, on a rack.

Make Honey Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk butter, cream cheese, and honey until smooth.

Spread the top of the cooled cake with honey frosting. Cut cake into squares to serve.

You’re welcome, @tracyS!

You’re welcome, I hope she likes it!

Do you have any other kinds of winter squash? They might work. Like butternut.

You’re welcome, @marsha! I hope you enjoy it!

So glad you liked it, @stavroula! And that your Dad liked it. It was probably better with fresh pumpkin puree over canned.

Looks deeeeelicious! :yum: :pie: :two_hearts: Making the puree by hand is a lot of work, but it sounds like the effort paid off- a very tasty treat, loved by all! I’d say “send me a slice”, but I imagine such a yummy treat will be eaten very quickly :wink: :heart:

Enjoy!
