Why You'll Love This Recipe

  • Just a few simple steps for this simple cake!
  • Great way to use up a leftover cup of pure pumpkin puree!
  • You can never have too many pumpkin desserts!
  • Perfect for those who would rather cake than pie after Thanksgiving dinner!

Ingredient Notes

  • Flour - All purpose flour.
  • Butter - I used salted butter, but unsalted butter will work too!
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice - If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand whip up a batch of your own with this Pumpkin Pie Spice Recipe.
  • Olive Oil - Canola oil, coconut oil or vegetable oil may be substituted.
  • Cream Cheese - Both regular cream cheese and reduced fat cream cheese will work.
  • Pumpkin - Make sure you are using canned pumpkin puree and not a can of pumpkin pie filling. They are two very different things and are not interchangeable for this recipe.

Couple Things You'll Need

Step by Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a baking sheet (a 13x17 half sheet)  with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a mixing bowl using a whisk or a hand mixer, beat the eggs until they are well beaten.
  • Add the sugar and oil.  Mix well.
  • Add the canned pumpkin puree.
Mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl.

  • Add the baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice and whisk well.
  • Add the flour to the pumpkin mixture and mix just until combined.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula just to make sure everything is mixed in and pour the cake batter onto the prepared baking sheet (a 13x17 half sheet pan).
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

  • For the homemade cream cheese frosting, beat the room temperature cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
  • Add the vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.  Beat until smooth.
  • Frost the completely cooled top of the cake. 
  • I recommend chilling the cake to set the frosting before covering with plastic wrap.
  • Store in the fridge.
  • FUN TIP- For a fun twist you can add 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon to the frosting to make cinnamon cream cheese frosting!
