Ingredients

Pumpkin Cake

  • 1/2 cup 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup all pupose flour
  • 1 cup whole oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoons whole milk or half-and-half
  • 2 Tablespoons caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar and white sugar. Next, stir in the oil, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, and egg until everything is well blended.
  • Time to get baking! Mix in the flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and that delicious pumpkin pie spice. Stir until everything is perfectly blended together
  • Pour the batter into a 9″ cake pan that you’ve coated with non-stick cooking spray.
    Tip: I prefer using a springform pan—it makes removing the cake a breeze!
  • Bake your delicious pumpkin dessert in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes, or until it feels firm to the touch. Once done, let it cool before serving
  • While the cake is baking make the frosting. Combine cream cheese and butter in a bowl, then whip them together with an electric mixer until smooth. Next, gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk. Mix until your frosting is perfectly creamy
  • When the cake is completely cooled, smooth a luscious layer of frosting over the top of your delightful spiced pumpkin cake
  • Drizzle the caramel over your creation and use the tip of a knife to swirl it around for a stunning finish
