  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  • In another bowl, mix the melted butter, pumpkin puree, and eggs until smooth.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the cream cheese topping by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese topping evenly over the surface.
  • Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
