If anything other than the voice of Charles Kelley could be described as dreamy, it would be this cake. Pumpkin Dream Cake is seriously dreamy.
Don't judge me...I know it's an awful picture. It was my birthday, and I really wanted to eat the cake.
Pumpkin Dream Cake
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon
6 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease 3, 8-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla, pumpkin, and oil. Alternately, beat in the flour mixture and milk.
4. Divide batter between the prepared pans and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
5. Remove pans from oven and immediately place in freezer for 45 minutes to keep the cake moist.
6. To make the frosting, cream the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Beat in powdered sugar on low speed until combined and then high speed until smooth.
7. Apply a thick layer of frosting between each layer of the cake, and then frost the entire cake.
8. Store in fridge.
