  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 (9-inch) store-bought pumpkin pie (premade/storebought)
  • 12 ounces unsalted butter (softened, 3 sticks)
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 3–4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream (cold)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Prepare the cinnamon cheesecake layer by mixing cream cheese, granulated sugar, flour, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and heavy whipping cream until smooth. Add eggs one at a time and pour into one prepared pan. Bake for about 60 minutes.
  3. For the spice cake, combine dry ingredients in one bowl and beat butter with brown sugar in another until fluffy. Mix in oil and vanilla, then add eggs and milk. Gradually blend in dry ingredients and pour into the second pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  4. Once cooled, assemble by layering the spice cake on a platter, topping it with the pumpkin pie followed by the cheesecake layer.
  5. To make buttercream frosting, beat softened butter until creamy, gradually add powdered sugar, mix in vanilla and optional cinnamon, then add cold heavy whipping cream to reach desired consistency.
  6. Frost the assembled piecaken as desired.
