Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients at room temperature.
  2. For the cheesecake layer, mix softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, heavy cream, and eggs; beat until well combined. Pour into a greased round cake pan and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 45 minutes or until set. Cool completely.
  3. For the spice cake layer, combine flour, baking powder, spices, softened butter, brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, egg, and milk in a bowl; mix until smooth. Bake in another greased round pan at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool.
  4. Assemble: Place spice cake on a serving platter, layer with cheesecake, then top with the store-bought pumpkin pie.
  5. Make frosting by beating softened butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar while mixing on low speed. Mix in vanilla extract and cold heavy cream until fluffy. Frost the entire assembled piecaken.
