Pumpkin is one of my favorite foods. This cake is so moist and good, you won’t be able to leave it alone. The nutmeg frosting only adds to the wonderful flavor.
Nutmeg Frosting
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 stick butter or margarine, softened
2 cups confectionery sugar
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
Beat with mixer until spreading consistency. Spread on cooled cake.
I promise you, if you like pumpkin, you will love this moist, delicious cake!
Enjoy!

Good Morning!
I will sure try this recipe this week. I have all the makings on hand.
Just a tip for all the Girls out there, pumpkin is pretty expensive these days but after the Holidays, Walmart and Sams puts the big cans on Sale! Last year I bought 12 cans from Sams for 33 cents each.
Just a little tip. Hope they do that again.
Happy Baking!! Darlene
Thanks so much for the tip Darlene! I go to Sams a lot and will certainly check this out after Thanksgiving. I use pumpkin all year and love it. Have a great day.
I love the idea of nutmeg frosting! What a wonderful combination with the pumpkin cake! Pumpkin is one of my favorites too and this recipe would be a hit for Thanksgiving!
Your pumpkin cake looks so moist and the cream cheese frosting is always a winner. I’m craving a piece right now!
do you use a particular kind of oil? Vegetable, canola? Thank you.
Tammy, I use Canola oil in most everything that calls for oil. That is what is in this cake, too. Have a great week.
It sounds great enough and then you go and frost it with that. My goodness!
I saw this cake earlier today and have not been able to get it out of my mind. My mouth has been watering all through “Puss In Boots”, early dinner with our kids, and has drawn my attention away from tv tonight.
I’m going to try it out and take one down to my daughter’s house when we visit. The icing put me over the edge.
this looks so delicious!
Looks delicious!
I baked this cake a couple of days ago and it’s delicious!! Thank you for the recipe. My husband loves it.
Janet, I am so happy your family enjoyed this cake and thank you for making it!
I love the taste of pumpkin, in fact it is my favorite and I bake alot of things with it in the fall. This recipe looks delish, and the cream cheese frosting with nutmeg sounds so good. I will definitely be adding this to the dessert list on Thanksgiving. Thanks Southern Lady for another great recipe. Your recipes always make our holidays wonderful!
Looks good
Why make a comment if you haven’t made the cake? I want to know how it turned out. Most recipes look good but are they?
This cake was YUMMY and very easy to make !!! Between my family and my knitting group we ate every bite. I am notorious for changing recipes. On this one the only change I made is I only had fresh Nutmeg. So, I am not sure if I used the right amount. I will make this one again. I just volunteered to make it Christmas Eve for my friends church.
