Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

Even if you're not a fan of pumpkin pie, give this a try.  My husband who despises pumpkin pie absolutely loves to devour this!

This is a 2-part recipe, meaning it will have cake ingredients & preparation and icing ingredients & preparation.  And here we go…

CAKE INGREDIENTS:

• 2 c. Flour
• 2 c. Sugar
• 2 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 c. Vegetable Oil
• 15 oz Pumpkin Can…You can use a big 29oz too, just add a little more sugar & flour.

CAKE PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350′.

Add dry ingredients first and mix together.  Add remaining ingredients and mix all of it together. Pour in and bake in a greased cake pan.   For 25 to 30 minutes or until done.  I poke mine with toothpicks to check:)  Scroll down for the icing part!!

This is where you mix the above cake ingredients up and pour it in a pan.

While cake is baking, it's time to prepare the icing.  YUMMY!

ICING INGREDIENTS:

• 1 8oz. Cream Cheese (I prefer the whipped in the tub.)
• 1 stick Butter
• 1 box of Confectioners Sugar
• Vanilla

  Cream first 3 ingredients together until smooth. Add vanilla to taste and mix:)   After cake has cooled, add icing and dust it with cinnamon on top to give it the look.

until it looks like this……..

Now slice and serve……OMG, this is just delicious!
