Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake Recipe
Indulge in the flavors of fall with this delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake. Made with layers of moist pumpkin cake and a creamy coffee-infused frosting, this dessert is the perfect treat for any pumpkin spice lover.
This Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake is a delightful combination of classic autumn flavors and a hint of coffee. The soft and tender pumpkin cake layers are infused with aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, giving it that distinct pumpkin spice taste. The addition of brewed coffee in the batter adds depth and richness to the overall flavor profile.
To make this cake, you’ll start by combining all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl – flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients – pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, brown sugar, eggs, brewed coffee, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
Divide the batter evenly between three greased and lined cake pans, and bake them in a preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the coffee-infused cream cheese frosting.
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and instant coffee granules until smooth and fluffy. Once the cakes have completely cooled, spread a generous layer of the frosting between each layer, stacking them on top of each other.
Finish off the cake by frosting the top and sides with the remaining cream cheese frosting. For an extra touch of elegance, decorate the cake with some pumpkin spice sprinkles or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Slice into generous portions and serve with a warm cup of pumpkin spice latte for the ultimate fall dessert experience.
This Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake is sure to be a hit at any autumn gathering or holiday celebration. The combination of moist pumpkin cake and coffee-infused cream cheese frosting creates a harmonious blend of flavors that will leave your taste buds craving for more. So, embrace the spirit of the season and treat yourself to this delectable dessert. Enjoy the taste of fall in every bite!
