Semi-Homemade Pumpkin Cake W/Cream Cheese Frosting

Just in time for Thanksgiving, a pumpkin cake recipe that's sure to be a hit at your dessert table!
This cake not only looks good, but tastes delicious too!
Last year, I made this adorable cake for my mother's birthday. Being that she is a lover of all things pumpkin, I thought it was the perfect match. I found a two ingredient pumpkin cake recipe online and made some minor adjustments/tweaks (seen below). I also wanted the cake to be more festive, so I turned the "normal" bundt cake into a sitting pumpkin.
* Please note: If you want your pumpkin to appear more round you could use two stacked bunt cakes.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
Warm Wishes,
