  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree

FROSTING

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (browned)
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

MAKE THE CAKE

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients: granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl: flour, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until batter is smooth without lumps.
  4. Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan.
  5. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool for about an hour.

FROSTING AND ASSEMBLY

  1. Brown the butter over medium heat in a pan for 5 to 6 minutes until it bubbles and browns. Be careful not to burn it. Let it cool until solid at room temperature or chill in the fridge for a few minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy and smooth for 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting on top as much as you like.
  4. Slice and savor the deliciousness!
