The long awaited pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting. I know you’ve been sitting on the edge of your seat waiting…emailing me, asking “Rhonda when will this recipe be ready?” And so here it is, the one, the only, best Pumpkin Spice Cake recipe. Yes I’m kinda just kidding, I know you haven’t been waiting and you haven’t been emailing. But I was just kinda thinking you should have been though. Here is How to Make the Best Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting!
How to Make the Best Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
One of the best tips I can give you when making this cake is to make sure your cream cheese frosting is nice and thick. That way your cake layers don’t slide. Something about cream cheese frosting is just so good. It could be put on almost anything and I think I will still love it.
One thing you’ll probably have noticed about my cakes, is that I like to do natural greenery, flowers, and fruit on my cakes. That’s just one way that I can get a cake to look beautiful without a lot of extra work. I don’t know if you have ever tried making fondant flowers or decorative frosting flowers, but they are a lot of work and time. We’re over that and not I just do natural with maybe a little bit of faux, like I did with these pumpkins.
Easy Fall Recipes
Decorating your cake can be so easy. I am serious just go outside in your yard and find some pretty things to place on your cake. When you go on my cake recipes and see the decorations most likely they were from my garden. Just grab a couple things that look good together and you should be good to go.

This cake I used what I could from the yard, grapes and greenery. You can shop my tea towel linens in my shop. Amber apothecary jars are the thing that is in right now for Fall! Good thing I have amber glass candles in my shop, so you can get some to make your house ready for Fall.
Of course I’m going to give you a shopping link, so you can get this look and a list of other items that I would personally like to have. Because who doesn’t like to have stuff?
Do you make cakes often? In my house we are always making cakes for birthdays, weddings, and just our favorite desserts. With 7 kids there is always something going on, so I have to be prepared. This is one of the family favorites, along with many others of course. Like our poppyseed cake, easy chocolate cake, and more pumpkin cake desserts.

Oooh, so yummy looking. Can the cake be baked, pour the sweetened condensed milk on top, then frozen til the big meal, and frosted the day of?
Has anyone tried that?
Thank you
I personally have not tried that. But I still think it would turn out great.

Do you pour 1/2 of the can of sweetened condensed milk on EACH round (so you use a whole can), or 1/4 of the can on each (so you’re using 1/2 can total), or do you use 1/2 can on ONE of the rounds? Thanks!
Good question. I personally use 1/4 can per cake round so that it doesn’t turn out to sweet. Thx for asking
Great, thank you!
Of course!
It’s a good thing you didn’t make this when I was there, I probably would have eaten most of it!
You can take something so plain and make it look so inviting…and makes me want to go shopping for fall stuff!!
