PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE CAKE – The Southern Lad...

If you love pumpkin, add this delicious Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cake to your recipe list! Great Fall dessert.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love pumpkin recipes, and we are always looking for ways to make them even better. This cake is one you must try. If you love cream cheese and pumpkin, this cake will hit the spot. This recipe is also made in a 9X13, which is perfect for all your Fall gatherings. This cake comes together quickly, too!

SWAPS & ADDITIONS

We add a simple powdered sugar glaze to this cake; you could even sprinkle it with just powdered sugar. We love the nuts on top, but they are entirely optional. If you don’t have all the seasonings, you could use two teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice instead, but you will still need the cinnamon. We use full-fat cream cheese in this recipe and have not tried it any other way.

⭐TIP

We refrigerate this cake since it has a cream cheese center. We find it is just as delicious cold!

Cream Cheese Filling

• 1 egg
• 12 ounces of cream cheese we use full fat
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Powdered Sugar Glaze

• 1 cup of powdered sugar

Cream Cheese Filling Instructions:

I believe you could substitute pumpkin pie spice for all the spices, except the cinnamon. 2 tablespoons of pumpkin pie spice should work.
