Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ spice cake mix
2/3 cup granulated sugar
4 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1/3 cup sour cream
1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottoms only of three 9-inch round cake pans with baking spray with flour.
In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until moistened, then on high speed 2 minutes. Divide batter equally among pans. Bake 24 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until smooth. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until frosting reaches desired spreading consistency.
Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate; spread about 3/4 cup frosting over top to within about 1/4 inch of edge. Top with second cake layer, rounded side up; spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Top with third layer, rounded side up. Spread thin layer of frosting on side of cake. Spread remaining frosting on side and top of cake. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a more vibrant flavor and color. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Use a cream cheese frosting that is not too sweet: A cream cheese frosting that is too sweet will overpower the flavor of the cake.

Conclusion:

This incredibly moist pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting is the perfect fall dessert. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement. This cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
