Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9X13-inch baking pan with nonstick cookin spray.

Step 2

Use a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or a hand mixer fitted with the double beaters. Beat the eggs and sugar together until pale, thick, fluffy and tripled in volume. It should take about 5-7 minutes on a high speed. Meanwhile whisk together dry ingredients in a separate small bowl.

Step 3

Add the pumpkin puree, oil and vanilla to the egg / sugar mixer. Use whisk attachment to beat until combined.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients, half at a time, to the egg mixture, beating with the whisk attachment until the flour is just mixed in. Try not to over mix or the cake will be dense. Use a spatula to scrape down the bottom and sides and fold in any unmixed flour. The batter will be thick.

Step 5

Spread the batter evenly into prepared pan. Using an offset spatula to spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake middle is set. I like to use a cake tester since this is a higher moisture cake and you want to make sure it's fully baked. Set on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Step 6

When the cake is completely cool, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, place the cream cheese and beat with whisk attachment until creamy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until well combined, scraping down bowl halfway through.

Step 7

Add the chilled whipping cream. Beat on low speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium and beat until stiff peaks form and volume increases, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Spread the frosting on the cooled cake. You will question the amount of frosting. Just go with it. It's a thick cake layer and you will be happy about the ratio of frosting to cake once you dive in! Refrigerate leftovers.
