CISSY'S SPICED PUMPKIN CAKE WITH CREAMED CHEESE FROSTING
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.

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.

Steps:
- Make chocolate leaves:
- Line small baking sheet (or large plate) with foil. Add enough hot water (125°F. to 130°F.) to 9-inch-diameter cake pan to measure depth of 1 inch. Place 6 ounces finely chopped milk chocolate in 3- to 4-cup glass bowl; place bowl in hot water. Let stand just until outer edges of chocolate melt. Stir until chocolate is partially melted (some soft pieces will remain). Transfer bowl to work surface and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth and instant-read thermometer registers no higher than 88°F. (barely lukewarm). If melted chocolate is warmer than 88°F., add 1-inch piece of milk chocolate and stir until temperature falls below 88°F. Remove any remaining piece of chocolate.
- Hold 1 leaf with heavily veined side up. Using pastry brush, carefully coat upper surface completely with chocolate. Using fingertips, wipe away any chocolate overflow from edges of leaf. Place leaf, chocolate side up, on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with 7 more leaves. Refrigerate coated leaves until chocolate is cold and set, about 10 minutes.
- Carefully peel lemon leaves off chocolate leaves; return chocolate leaves to baking sheet and refrigerate.
- Line another small baking sheet (or large plate) with foil. Melt 6 ounces white chocolate and make 8 white chocolate leaves, following technique and temperature guidelines for milk chocolate leaves.
- Line another small baking sheet (or large plate) with foil. Melt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate and make 8 bittersweet chocolate leaves, following technique for milk chocolate leaves. (Chocolate leaves can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Make cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line bottoms of two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 2-inch-high sides with waxed paper. Spray sides of pans with nonstick spray. Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt and cloves into medium bowl; sift again. Place currants in small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon flour mixture and toss to coat; mix in walnuts.
- Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until fluffy. Gradually beat in sugar. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Beat in flour mixture in 3 additions alternately with milk in 2 additions. Beat in pumpkin. Fold in currant-walnut mixture. Divide batter equally between prepared pans (batter will be about 3/4 inch deep).
- Bake cakes until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 10 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks; peel off waxed paper. Cool layers completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Wrap in foil and store at room temperature.)
- Make frosting:
- Beat butter, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla and orange peel in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in cream cheese. Sift powdered sugar over; beat to blend. (Frosted cake can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and refrigerate. Let cake stand at room temperature 2 hours before continuing.)
- Assmble:
- Place 1 cake layer, bottom side up, on platter. Spread with 1 1/2 cups frosting. Top with second cake layer, bottom side down. Spread remaining frosting smoothly over top and sides of cake.
- Arrange chocolate leaves decoratively on top and sides of cake. Serve immediately or let stand up to 2 hours.
SPICED PUMPKIN LAYER CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
When it comes to dessert, I am a chocoholic first and fruit-pie lover second; but after several test batches to perfect this cake, I am completely won over, and so is everyone who has tasted it. This is simply a spectacular cake-moist and light with spiced pumpkin flavor and sweet bites of coconut and pineapple. In addition, it is a snap to make. It requires two 9-inch cake pans to make the layers, but the cake itself can be mixed together with a rubber spatula and bowl. If all the cake ingredients are pre-measured and the cake pans prepared, this can be a fun kitchen project to do with children, especially since it can be made ahead and frozen.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter two 9-inch diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch sides. Line the bottom of each pan with a circle of parchment paper. Butter the parchment paper. Sprinkle the pans with flour, tap the pans to evenly distribute the flour, and then shake off the excess flour. Set aside.
- To make the cake, in a large bowl, sift together the 2 cups flour, the granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, oil, and vanilla. In another medium bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, coconut, crushed pineapple, and currants.
- Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Add the pumpkin mixture and stir just until combined. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, spreading it evenly. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Transfer to wire racks and let cool in the pans for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the edge of the pans to loosen the cakes. Invert the cakes onto the racks and peel off the parchment paper. Let cool completely before frosting the cakes.
- To make the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed for about 3 minutes until smooth. Add the butter and beat for about 2 minutes until combined. Add the pumpkin purée and beat until incorporated, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla and beat for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
- Place 1 cake layer on a cake plate or platter. Using an offset spatula, spread half of the frosting over the top of the first cake layer. Spread the frosting right to the edge of the top without frosting the sides of the cake. Carefully place the second cake on top, lining up the edges. Spread the remaining frosting over the top of the cake without frosting the sides. Swirl the frosting to decorate the top. Refrigerate the cake to set the frosting. Remove from the refrigerator 30 to 40 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly mist baking pans with spray and set aside. Place the cake mix, pudding mix, pumpkin, oil, water, eggs, cinnamon, and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look thick and well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pans, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Place the pans in the oven. Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 32-35 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Frost with cream cheese frosting, or frosting of choice. Beat cream cheese and butter until blended. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and blend until all incorporated. Frost cake.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a more intense pumpkin flavor. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough. 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 your cake is fully baked.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Use a cream cheese frosting: Cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to pumpkin spice cake. It's tangy, sweet, and creamy.
- Decorate the cake with pumpkin spice sprinkles: Pumpkin spice sprinkles will add a festive touch to your cake.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It's perfect for Thanksgiving, Halloween, or any other autumn occasion. With its moist texture, warm spices, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
