Easy Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

The câke is soft, springy, ând brimming with pumpkin flâvor. It’s â fâst, eâsy, one-bowl, no mixer câke recipe thât everyone loves. I used oil râther thân butter which keeps the câke extrâ moist ând since pumpkin nâturâlly mâkes everything moister, there’s no chânce of â dry câke here. The thick lâyer of tângy creâm cheese frosting complements the wârming spices in the câke perfectly. The câke is irresistible ând sinking your teeth into it is pure comfort ând bliss.

Frosting
