Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

 This spice cake epitomizes the perfect fall pumpkin spice cake and the cream cheese frosting takes it over the top. The cake is made with vegetable oil which makes it super moist and a great soft texture and is really a no fail cake.  It makes an 8-inch cake but you can also make it in a square 8×8 pan, and if you needed a little larger cake, you could also make it in a 9-inch pan.  I suppose it would also work for cupcakes and just reduce the cooking time.  I made it to take along when I was invited to go trick or treating with my friends 4 1/2 year old, and thought she might like the cake decorated like a pumpkin.  I combined cinnamon, powdered ginger, fresh ground nutmeg and a pinch of cloves for the flavor base of the cake.  Delicious if I do say so myself!  Click here for the recipe….
