Cake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, sugar, pumpkin, oil, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla; whisk to combine.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
- Turn batter out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula. Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Set the cake aside on a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting it.
Frosting Preparation
- In a large bowl (or a stand mixer), add the cream cheese, butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and salt; whisk until smooth and fluffy.
- Turn frosting out onto the cooled cake and spread into a smooth, even layer using a spatula or knife.
- Slice and serve.

Notes
Feel free to customize your Easy Pumpkin Spice Cake by swapping the pumpkin puree for applesauce or adding chocolate chips. Consider sprinkling nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture that suits your taste buds.
