CISSY'S SPICED PUMPKIN CAKE WITH CREAMED CHEESE FROSTING



Cissy's Spiced Pumpkin Cake with Creamed Cheese Frosting image

This fabulous dessert is based on my Aunt Cissy's famous pumpkin sheet cake. I stacked it into a layer cake to make it a bit more "glamorous." This recipe yields about as moist a cake as you can get, which makes it a bit tricky to layer and frost. But when I asked all of my taste testers if I should adapt it with less oil, the answer was a resounding, "Don't even think about it." The end result may not look like it came from a high-end bakery, but I think that just adds to the Southern charm. And when there's not a single slice left on the plate, you'll know it didn't even matter.

Time 1h25m

Yield 12 to 14 slices

Number Of Ingredients 15

Shortening, for greasing pan
2 cups flour, plus more for pan
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups canola oil
1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 eggs
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
8 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat 3 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening (tip: this works better than both cooking spray and butter) and lightly flour the pan, discarding the excess.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater blade, combine the sugar and canola oil on medium-low speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin and vanilla until fully incorporated, about another minute. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Gradually add the flour mixture until just incorporated, being careful not to over mix.
  • Divide cake batter evenly into the 3 pans (I weigh the batter out for the best results). Rap each pan gently on the counter before putting in the oven so that the batter is evenly distributed.
  • Bake the cakes for 20 to 23 minutes, moving the pans around halfway through cooking time, until they are set and a toothpick comes out clean from the centers. Allow the cakes to cool in pans for 30 minutes. Run a knife along the sides of the pan and remove cake from pans. To do this, place a lightly-floured free hand or cardboard cake round directly onto the top of the cake in order to support the layer; then gently flip the cake pan over with your hand or cake round still supporting it, while gently tapping with the other hand until the cake slips out. Cool the cakes completely on wire racks.
  • For the frosting: With a hand mixer set at medium speed, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla until smooth. Add the confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 5 more minutes.
  • Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a cake plate or serving dish and spread with a layer of cream cheese frosting. Repeat with the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with a crumb coat, then repeat with a thicker layer. The frosted cake will keep for up to three days in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: As with all baking, it's important to have all of your ingredients and tools ready before you start. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Canned pumpkin puree can be used in a pinch, but fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a more浓郁flavor and texture. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to be baked for a little longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This incredibly moist pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting is the perfect fall dessert. It's easy to make and always a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
