The cream cheese frosting wonderfully complements this spice cake sent in by Sandra McKenzie from Braham, Minnesota.

My family loves this cake because it is a little more spicy than many pumpkin cakes. It is easy to make. Once again, Taste of Home has provided a winning recipe.

I made this for Halloween dinner. Everyone loved it. I'm going to experiment with the recipe to see if I can make a lower fat version by substituting applesauce for some of the oil and reducing the amount of cream cheese frosting.
