Scale

  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
  • ½ teaspoon Nutmeg powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Ginger powder
  • 2 cups Cream cheese frosting
  • 2 tablespoon Sprinkles Orange and green colors

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Grease and flour two 8×2 inch round cake pans.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, oil, and water.

  8. Mix until the batter is smooth, being careful not to overmix.
  9. Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared cake pans.
  10. Spread the batter evenly with a spatula.
  11. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  12. Allow the cakes to cool completely in their pans on a wire rack.
  13. Once completely cool, remove the cakes from the pans.

  16. Spread about half of the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top of the first cake layer.
  17. Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the frosted first layer.
  18. Spread the remaining cream cheese frosting evenly over the top and sides of the entire cake.
  19. Decorate the frosted cake with orange and green sprinkles and pumpkin candies.

Notes

Always use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor and texture.
Ensure your cake pans are well-greased and floured to prevent sticking.
Cool cakes completely before frosting to avoid a melted, messy frosting.
Do not overmix the batter once dry ingredients are added; mix just until smooth.
