Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk these ingredients together until they are smooth and well combined.
Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until fully integrated.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Gradually fold the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Then, slowly add the heavy cream while continuing to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Step 4
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly on top using a spatula.
You can also add decorative elements such as chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor and presentation.
Step 5
Slice the cake into squares and serve. This pumpkin cake is perfect for fall gatherings, festive occasions like Thanksgiving, or any time you crave a delicious treat!
Servings
When serving these delightful pumpkin pastries, consider pairing them with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an added touch of flavor. 🍂✨ Imagine a cozy picnic setup with friends, where you lay out your pastries atop a picnic blanket, surrounded by autumn leaves.

For a festive flair, serve them with warm apple cider or a spiced latte. 🥤 The combination of flavors will transport your taste buds straight to pumpkin patch explorations. Whether at a friendly gathering or a weekend tea party, these pastries will undoubtedly steal the spotlight!

Variations
If you're looking to cater to different dietary preferences, we've got you covered! Try our gluten-free version by substituting regular flour with almond or coconut flour. This will maintain that warm, comforting taste while keeping it suitable for gluten-sensitive friends. 🌾✨
And for those following a vegan lifestyle, you can simply switch out the eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce and use plant-based butter. Not only will everyone enjoy the dessert, but you'll also make everyone feel included and catered for! 🌱💚
Faq
- Can I use canned pumpkin instead of fresh?
Yes, canned pumpkin is an excellent alternative! Just ensure it’s pure pumpkin purée without added ingredients.
- What can I substitute if I don't have pumpkin spice?
You can make your own mix using cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in equal parts.
- How do I know when my pastry is done baking?
Look for a golden-brown color and a slightly firm texture. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted.
- Can I freeze these pastries?
Definitely! Allow them to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in the freezer.
- What's the ideal temperature for baking these pastries?
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for perfect baking results.
- How can I make my pastry flakier?
Make sure your butter is cold, and do not overwork your dough. This keeps those nice, flaky layers!
