Pumpkin "Just Enough" Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
20 mins prepServes 6
Soft, spiced pumpkin cake topped with tangy cream cheese frosting. The perfect little fall cake when you want something cozy without making an entire cake. One 6-inch cake, simple ingredients, no leftovers.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line a 6-inch round cake pan with parchment.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, and pumpkin pie spice. In a separate bowl, mix sugar, brown sugar, oil, vanilla, and pumpkin puree until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Don’t overmix.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30–35 minutes. Cool completely.
For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt and beat until fluffy.
Spread over the cooled cake, slice, and enjoy.
