Are you seeing pumpkin everywhere like I am? Every other pin on pinterest. Every other blog post. Every headline is something pumpkin related.
And I love it. I say it every year, but I adore fall. The weather, the changing colors, the smells, and most of all, the food!
And I love this cake.
I have been wanting to make my Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes into a cake for awhile, but wanted to try something different. So this cake was inspired by a Ho-Ho. Or a Ding-Dong. Whatever its called, it is cake and a whipped cream filling.
And this cake, well… all that beautiful whipped deliciousness up there… is Pumpkin Whipped Cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1-2 cups powder sugar
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4tsp all-spice
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
Instructions
- Add heavy cream to a stand mixer and whip on med to medium high speed until soft peaks. (usually about 2 minutes)
- While the cream is mixing, place pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and all-spice in a bowl. Stir until combined.
- Once cream is at soft peak stage, add powder sugar in a 1/2 cup at a time. After one cup, turn off mixer. Gently fold in pumpkin puree mixture to cream. If the consistency is not firm enough, add more powder sugar, about a 1/4 cup at a time until you reach desired consistency.
*If you want a Vegan version, Marla from Family Fresh Cooking made this one!
Want to know what it tastes like? Light, airy, delectable pumpkin pie. Its pretty much the awesomest thing I have ever made. I know I say that all the time but this time I mean it.
Have you noticed I am sorta obsessed with the square/rectangular cakes lately? I got 4 square cake pans for $4 and I sure have made use of them lately!
Ok, so wanna know how this cake came together?
I started by make my Chocolate Pumpkin Cake in 2 square cake pans. As soon as those bad boys were in the oven I started making my favorite Ganache recipe.
After the cakes were out of the oven and cooled, I placed one on my cake stand and one on a baking sheet. I poured just enough ganache over each of them to cover the top of the cake, hardly letting any spill over. (You can have it spill over as much as you want!)
I then let them sit overnight. (They were ready to assemble in about an hour. You just want the ganache to be tacky, not runny, somewhat firm. If it gets hard even better. But it was late and I was sleeeeeeeepy.)
The next day I made the Pumpkin Whipped Cream. Place it in the fridge for about 15 minutes before assembling cake.
Now, I was pretty nervous that my light and airy whipped cream was not going to stand the weight of a cake on top of it. So I took a plastic straw and cut it into 4 pieces. I inserted those pieces near the four corners of the cake and then covered it in a thick layer of the whipped cream.
Trying to keep your fingers out of the ganache (not that I speak from experience or anything) carefully place the other square cake on top of the cake covered in whipped cream. It should be pretty sturdy.
I put the remainder of my Pumpkin Whipped Cream is a plastic disposable pastry bag with a 1M tip. Just pipe out little clouds of pumpkin heaven and cover in India Tree Chocolate Sprinkles.
I really cant say enough good things about this cake. Its one of the best tasting cakes I have ever made. The taste, the textures, the cake to whipped cream ratio… it just all works together perfectly.
I want you to make this cake. But even if you cant make the cake, make the Pumpkin Whipped Cream. Put in on a piece of pie or eat it straight from the bowl, either way you are going to be transported to your happy place.

We had ours for 36 hours total and it was good to the last bite.

YUMMY!!! It looks sooo good. I love all fall foods…
Oh. My. Goodness. I am so ready to have some pumpkin desserts and pumpkin+chocolate is an automatic winner!
That pumpkin whipped cream is super intriguing! I love a good pumpkin pie. Also pumpkin cookies. I made some excellent ones last year, full of spices and topped with pumpkin seeds. Yum!
Pumpkin sheet cake is my fave! Yum!
Totally making this.. Pumpkin cheesecake has always been my favorite as I don’t like pumpkin pie. Well, my real favorite is chocolate chip pumpkin bread, but obviously that’s not a dessert, right??

Right now I’m very much enjoying pumpkin spice smoothies! But if I could eat anything I’d want right now, it would probably have to be a piece of this chocolate pumpkin cake… with some of your pumpkin caramels on the side! Or on top!

Sorry, my first post didn’t have my favorite pumpkin dessert. It is pumpkin pie
I made some pumpkin pancakes this morning & topped them off with a not so small dollop of pumpkin whipped cream! It’s not a dessert, but it totally could be.
How do you get the delaying so smooth? I made your “rose cake” for my daughters birthday. I followed the directions for the buttercream using crisco sticks and it came out really airy..It kept popping when I was piping it out.. Anyway…. The pumpkin frosting sounds amazing!!!!

I would love to dive into that cake, head first!
That looks took yummy. Chocolate pumpkin is always a wonderful combination.
I just love pumpkin and chocolate together and this looks wonderful.
My favourite pumpkin recipe is pumpkin pie. Simple, but oh so delicious!
And I just LOVE pumpkin ice cream
Looks killer. Well played
My favourite pumpkin dessert would probably be pumpkin cheesecake! All the lovely silky spiceness of pumpkin pie with delicious cream cheese
Hmmmm favorite pumpkin dessert… would have to say coffee if that counts!
Or pumpkin ice cream/cheesecake sound reallllllly good.
We have soooo many pumpkins. This looks like a delicious way to use them.
A pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling is still my favorite pumpkin treat! My grandma used to make them, and I can still remember trying to help her roll them up in tea towels.
my favorite pumpkin dessert is pumpkin cheesecake!
My favorite pumpkin dessert is a pumpkin roll with cream cheese filling! Yum!
Definitely going to make this for an office party on Tuesday! Thanks
This cake is so pretty! I love that the layers are exposed and you can see all the ganache and pumpkin whipped cream. I’ve never been a big fan of the pumpkin flavor, but I’ve seen so many pumpkin desserts recently that look SO GOOD I just might have to give something like this a try. After all, how bad can it be if it’s made with chocolate and covered in ganache?
The only pumpkin dessert I ever really make us Lemon Glazed Pumpkin Bread at Christmas time for gifts but this recipe may change that! But the question I’m dying to have you answer is: WHERE DID YOU GET FOUR SQUARE CAKE PANS FOR $4???
Honestly , anything with pumpkin and chocolate is a huge win in my book! A simple pumpkin bread with chocolate chips is my fall favorite : )
I still love the old stand by – pumpkin pie – with whip cream – best.
I have a horrible weakness for pumpkin cream cheese muffins. Am looking forward to playing around with more pumpkin recipes this fall though!
I so love pumpkin bread the most. But sometimes I put alittle spin on it with different frostings.
But this cake you’ve made looks awesome.
Nothing beats the ol’ classic of pumpkin pie
My favorite pumpkin dessert is…pumpkin bread! For some people that might not count as a dessert, but it is for me!
I love Pumpkin Rolls (the one that look like Ho-Hos)
my favorite pumpkin dessert is pumpkin spice cupcakes…so good!!!! and i also have to say pumpkin cheesecake:)
I want some of this! But I’m 10 days away from giving birth and don’t think I will get everything together in time to make it before and will probably be too tired afterwards. I don’t know how you baked through your last pregnancy!
Okay Amanda, so I’m making this now… it’s been awhile since I used this recipe to make the cupcakes, so, I don’t remember how many it made. When I saw you used TWO square pans, I assumed they were pretty equal to two round pans. And I’ve only ever seen square in 8″, so…
Silly me… right now I am smelling the batter that overflowed and is burning on the bottom of the oven!! Hope the rest of the cake turns out better!!! I should used 3 8″ round pans I guess….
amazing!!!
I love pumpkin muffins with buttercream frosting
Hellooooo cake that will be baked just for me! I cannot wait to make this!!!
pumpkin spice donuts!
Pumpkin Pie Crunch (or the awful name of Pumpkin Dump Cake). With the yellow cake mix and melted butter on top? Yum, yum!
To be honest, I don’t really like pumpkin
. I make pumpkin pies every thanksgiving though and the fam raves about them 
Pumpkin bread is my favorite!
I love pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!
Pumpkin cheesecake is my favorite!
The cake is gorgeous Amanda! I love anything pumpkin this time of the year, just made some pumpkin cookies today and planning on making a pumpkin bread tomorrow
Anything pumpkin but I love pumpkin bread!
OMG!! This looks amazing! my new roomie is allergic to cinnamon, so i will have to adapt but i am trying it tomorrow
Oh the naughty, naughty things I could do with $250 right now!
Annnnnnnnnnnd I didn’t read the directions before doing the assignment!
I love anything pumpkin but my favorite pumpkin dessert to date is Hungry Girl Por Vida’s Pumpkin Semifreddo (http://www.hungrygirlporvida.com/blog/2011/10/24/recipe-pumpkin-semifreddo/) The salted caramel sauce makes it DIVINE!
Beautiful cake. Can’t wait to make it myself. I am a ziplist new user…got a ways to go:)
Pumpkin donuts! I love all things pumpkin, though!
YUM. Must try this now..my favorite fall dessert is Pumpkin cream cheese roll..so good!
This cake looks so delicious!!! I do want to try it. Not sure about the pumpkin puree….where do you find it? And, how big were your cake pans and how long do you bake them? Can’t wait to taste it!!! Thanks for the recipe!!
Yummo!
hello again,
I recently left a comment on another post of yours but just as I clicked the send button I realized I had of course forgotten to ask you something else so I’ll ask it here:
How many people does this cake serve? I’m looking to make it serve roughly 30 people maximum so please let me know asap.
thanks.
Nine very hungry people, or 18 if you want to be a bit less generous.
what is the point of putting a photo out here and no recipe? i want the whole thing if im going to make it.. the chocolate pumpkin cake!!!!!!!!!where is that recipe
If you click the link in the post, the one labeled Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes, it goes to the recipe.
This is FABULOUS, Amanda! I’m in charge of cupcakes for an upcoming shower and wanted to incorporate just these flavors. Can you tell me how stable this pumpkin whipped cream is? I need to do all my baking and decorating the day prior. Do you think I’d be alright?! TY!
This looks so yummy. Going to try it this weekend. This may be a dumb question but I assume that you store this in your fridge until you are ready to serve?
Totally making this for my Birthday cake next week. So excited!
I made my chocolate cupcake recipe today. And topped them with this pumpkin whipped cream frosting. Amazing. Greeeeeat recipe, thanks! I’m going to use the leftovers to top my French toast in the morning! Will be making this whipped cream a few times this year!! Love it.
Pumpkin Whipped Cream?! Yes, please!
I can’t get this pumpkin whipped cream to turn out. I get the cream thick and after I start adding the powdered sugar it starts to get runny. I have tried twice now.
It can be a challenge… here is a video that might help! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNtKdMLBqFg
How long did you bake the cake in your square pans? I am using 9 inch square pans. I do not want to dry out the cake!
How long did you bake your square pans for? The recipe is for cupcakes and I’d like to make the cake like you did!
Did you used whipped cream or heavy cream? Because I used heavy
cream and it was not fluffy at all, although it still tasted good. It just did not have the same presentation because the pumpkin whipped topping was too gravy like.
I used heavy cream… it just means it needs to be whipped a bit more. (I am assuming) Sorry it didnt look like you wanted! Happy Turkey Day
Oh.my.gosh!! This cake was amazing. I made it for thanksgiving and put it on my new glass cake plate! It was beautiful and delicious! My only problem was moving the cakes! They are very delicate. And also, I didn’t flour the pans, just sprayed, and i think they would have come outta the pans easier with flour too.
Thank you for the amazing recipe!
I made this for Thanksgiving and it was great! I have a question–the picture shows ganache at the bottom of the cake–the recipe calls for ganache on top of both cakes, whipped cream on top of the ganache and then the other cake on top of the whipped cream–how do you get the ganache on the bottom of the base cake?
Also because I love whipped cream, I put excess whipped cream all over the asides of the cake–yummy!!!
Thanks for a great recipe
There was no ganache at the bottom of the cake. Its just the bottom of the cake. I loved whipped cream too… good idea to put it all over! Glad you enjoyed it!
Amanda I have been eyeing (slash daydreaming about
this cake for ages. Don’t ask me why but tonight, just as Spring is setting in, I decided to make it! It is every bit as amazing as you say! I used a modified recipe (I am on the paleo diet) for the chocolate cake from Elenas pantry, and used your ganache and pumpkin whipped cream recipes with some paleo modifications. Thank you for sharing this!! It was amazing. I think I whipped the cream a little too long though, but it’s still a pretty presentation. I love your blog!
