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
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
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
For the cheesecake layer, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar in one bowl until smooth. Mix in flour, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, heavy cream, and eggs until combined. Pour into one prepared pan.
For the spice cake layer, whisk together flour, baking powder, and spices in a separate bowl. Cream together butter and brown sugar in another bowl; mix in oil and egg. Alternate adding dry ingredients with milk until just combined. Pour into the second pan.
Bake both layers for about 60 minutes or until set. Allow to cool completely before assembling.
Assemble by layering spice cake at the bottom, followed by pumpkin pie, cheesecake layer, and finishing with another spice cake layer.
Prepare frosting by beating softened butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Frost top and sides of assembled piecaken.
