    You'll need the star of the recipe - homemade pumpkin puree - for this recipe (but you may use store-bought as well if you must). The puree is easier to make than you think. And tastes so much better so much richer. Get the recipe for the pumpkin puree HERE.

    Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13 baking pan with butter and place a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan (optional). Start by sifting the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Using a hand whisker, combine well, and set aside until ready for use.

    Next, in a mixer bowl, mix together eggs and sugar until fluffy and pale yellow in color. Then, add apple sauce, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and mix for another minute or so.

    Remove the bowl from the mixer and add the dry ingredients in three separate addition, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over mix the batter. (Overmixing will result in deflated air bubbles in the batter and the cake may turn out denser than you'll like. Not as fluffy and airy.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. While the cake is cooling, let's make the frosting. And the BEST part of the cake! 😉

    Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting Instructions

    Beat room temperature cream cheese and sugar on high speed until combined. Add room temperature butter and beat again. Scrape down the sides of the bowl using a silicone spatula in between mixing.

    Then add cold heavy whipping cream. Firstly, beat on low, then gradually increase the speed (to prevent splatter) until the cream begins to thicken. Scrape down the bowl again, to ensure all of the cream is incorporated. Beat once more until thick and well mixed.

    Last but not least, add vanilla, cinnamon, and mix just until combined. Scrape down the sides and beat once more to ensure the cream and spices are well combined.
