  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 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 (premade/storebought)
  • 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

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare the cheesecake layer by mixing softened cream cheese with sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, heavy whipping cream, and eggs until smooth. Pour into a greased springform pan and bake for 45-50 minutes until set. Let cool completely.
  2. For the spice cake, whisk together flour, baking powder, and spices in one bowl. In another bowl, mix butter with brown sugar until fluffy; then add eggs and milk gradually before folding in dry ingredients. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
  3. Assemble by layering the store-bought pumpkin pie at the bottom, followed by the cheesecake and spice cake layers.
  4. For frosting, beat softened butter with powdered sugar until fluffy; add vanilla and mix in cold heavy whipping cream until desired consistency is reached. Frost the assembled piecaken generously.
  5. Slice and serve while enjoying delightful conversations around your holiday table.
