How To Make not so spooky pumpkin swirl cake
-
Step 1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-
Step 2Meanwhile, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin in a large bowl, beat with a mixer until smooth.
-
Step 3Mix the flour with the next 6 dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
-
Step 4Once combined slowly pour the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture & mix until all ingredients are well combined.
-
Step 5In a separate bowl, combine butter, vanilla and cream cheese. Beat with a mixer until smooth.
-
Step 6Sift the powdered sugar into the mixture until well combined.
-
Step 7Slowly mix in the water until the cream cheese is a pourable thickness *(you don't want it thick so it will swirl better in the batter). *you may not use all the water or might need more. Just add enough water to make it thin.
-
Step 8Spread the pumpkin batter in a lightly greased 9.5 x 13.5 x 2 inch baking dish.
-
Step 9Place spoonfuls of the cream cheese all over the pumpkin batter.
-
Step 10Drag a knife through the batter up and down, side to side to swirl the cream cheese. Keep doing this until you think you have swirled the batters enough.
-
Step 11Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until fully set. Let cool & enjoy!!
-
Step 12To make the ghost: I heaped whipped topping and used chocolate chips for the eyes.
