Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F (176C) and prepare a baking pan (we used a 9" x 13" rectangular pan) by greasing the sides and lining the pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Mix together your wet ingredients (pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and granulated sugar) in a mixing bowl. Whisk well to combine.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, mix together your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt). Whisk well to combine.
Step 4
Combine the wet and dry ingredients by whisking together until the mixture is just hydrated - don't overmix!
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish. Spread into an even layer.
Step 6
Bake the cake for 30-40 minutes until a cake tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Let the cake cool completely. In the meantime, make cream cheese frosting by combining softened butter and cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer (you can also whisk it together by hand or using a handheld mixer!)
Step 8
Once the cream cheese and butter are combined, add in powdered sugar, orange zest, and a pinch of salt and whisk together until light and fluffy.
Step 9
When the cake has cooled, spread cream cheese frosting across the top. Add any additional decoration, such as candied orange slices, orange sprinkles, or orange zest. Slice and enjoy!
