The absolute Best Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cake Recipe that’s so moist and delicious. Just like the Creamy Pumpkin Spice Roll Cake mom made.

So in the fall, I start taking orders from my children so everyone can pick the flavor cake they would like.
Fall is extra special in our family because we get to celebrate several birthdays during the season.

Pumpkin and then cream cheese and finally cake. I mean because how could that not be good,I made this for the first time during one chilly October weekend when it was the kind of day where you wear socks as well as slippers yet still feel cold.I was aiming for a regular pumpkin dessert since I wanted something simple. However I remembered that block of cream cheese that stared at me every time I opened the fridge and as a result the rest became a bit of a delicious accident.

Let’s be honest because my first try was a little chaotic. I forgot to soften the cream cheese which was a rookie mistake and my crust looked like it had been attacked by a squirrel. Even so the flavor was unreal just like cozy sweaters combined with fall leaves and Thanksgiving nostalgia all wrapped up in one slice.

Have you ever layered velvety pumpkin together with rich cream cheese before. If not then oh buddy, you’re in for a treat. And if you have then this one’s a level up.
So grab a fork or even just a spoon no judgment and let’s bake something that tastes as if fall gave you a hug.

Tips for

Use room temperature cream cheese : it mixes more smoothly and prevents lumps.

Don’t overmix : stir gently once you add the dry ingredients this keeps the cake fluffy.

Try panko for crunch : add a streusel topping or sprinkle chopped pecans on top for extra texture.

Check early : ovens vary, so start checking the cake at 35 minutes.

Chill before serving : cooling the cake makes the cream cheese layer firmer and easier to cut.

What to Eat with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Cake ??

Pumpkin cream cheese cake is wonderful with a cup of hot tea or coffee, especially when the weather turns chilly the creamy filling and pumpkin spice make every sip feel extra comforting.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top, then add the remaining pumpkin batter. Swirl lightly with a knife for a marbled effect, or keep it layered for a neat look.

Bake : place the pan in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean finally cool : let the cake cool completely before slicing. This helps the cream cheese set properly and makes cutting easier.
