Pumpkin Cake With Maple Cream Cheese Frosting image

I was looking to make myself a delicious birthday cake. I usually go for carrot cake, but my sister recommended pumpkin cake. I also had been eying this recipe for Maple Cream Cheese Frosting. And I added some chopped bittersweet chocolate, which is delicious, but not necessary. Cake recipe is from http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2009/10/pumpkin-cake-with-amaretto-cream-cheese-frosting-recipe.html Frosting recipe is from http://www.kitchenista.org/2009/05/12/carrot-cake-with-maple-cream-cheese-frosting/ I put it all together here for my safe-keeping and because it was an absolutely wonderful cake. Just make sure the frosting is completely room temperature or your cake will end up ugly like mine (but still delicious!!).

Time 1h

Yield 1 cake, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
3 eggs, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Cake:.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice.
  • In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vegetable oil and vanilla.
  • Slowly whisk flour mixture into egg mixture. Fold in pureed pumpkin.
  • Evenly divide cake mixture between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs on it.
  • Cool cakes in pans completely before transferring to a cake plate. About 1 hour.
  • Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of maple cream cheese frosting on the top of one cake layer. Place the other cake layer on top. Use remaining frosting to frost the cake.
  • Frosting:.
  • Beat sugar and butter with mixer or in stand mixer.
  • Gradually add confectioner's sugar and maple syrup while blending.
  • You can put the frosting in the refrigerator to set up a little bit or just let it stand at room temperature so it's ready for you when you need it.
  • Optional: You can chop up some bittersweet chocolate and add it to the batter once it's in the pan and stir just a bit so it doesn't sink to the bottom. Reserve about a third of the chocolate to sprinkle over the frosted cake.

Number Of Ingredients 17

FROSTING:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
12 ounces cream cheese, softened. 1 1/2 packages
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
6 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Grease 3, 8-inch round cake pans. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl/stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla, pumpkin and vegetable oil. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Divide batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove pans from oven and immediately place in freezer for 45 minutes.

For the frosting: In a large bowl, cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon. Add confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed until combined, then on high until frosting is smooth. Assemble the 3 layers with a thick layer of frosting in between each layer. Then apply a thin crumb coat on the top and sides. Pop back in the freezer to harden the crumb coat for about 10 minutes. Apply one final thick and even layer around the outside of the cake. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
