    Pumpkin Tiramisu Cake Frosting Ingredients

    • Softened cream cheese
    • Confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
    • Heavy whipping cream (I used 40 % fat, cold)
    • Freshly brewed espresso
    • Cocoa powder (for dusting on top of the cake)

    Pumpkin Tiramisu Cake Batter Instructions

    First thing first, measure out all dry ingredients into a medium bowl and mix them all together using a wire whisk. Set aside until ready for use.

    Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Beat eggs and sugar on high for 5 minutes or until light, fluffy and pale yellow in color. Reduce mixing speed to medium/low and add homemade pumpkin puree and pure vanilla extract. Mix for another minute or so.

    Remove bowl from the mixer stand and add prepared dry ingredients (flour, sea salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice) into the egg mixture in 2 separate additions. Carefully mix in the dry ingredients with each addition trying not to deflate air pockets as much as possible.

    Divide batter evenly into 3 – 10” baking pans greased with butter (I used a cup scooper to divide batter evenly into pans). Bake in a preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for 18 minutes.

    Remove from the oven; let the cake sponges cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing them from baking pans.

    Remove cake sponges from pans and cool completely before frosting.

    Pumpkin Tiramisu Cake Frosting Instructions

    While the cake sponges are cooling, make the frosting. Start by beating softened cream cheese and confections’ sugar slowly gradually increase the mixing speed to high and beat for a minute, scraping down the cream on the sides of the mixer bowl halfway through.

    Then add cold heavy whipping cream, and beat again for a couple of minutes scraping down the sides of the bowl in the middle of mixing.

    Pumpkin Tiramisu Cake Assembling Instructions

    Place a large 6B Wilton decorating tip attachment into the piping bag. Then fill half of a piping bag with the cream. Place cake sponge onto a cake platter and soak with freshly brewed espresso. Pipe out starts on top of the cake sponge. Then place another cake sponge on top of the piped cream, soak the cake layer with espresso and proceed by using the same instructions.

    Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

      The cake layers are not spongy. I was careful when mixing batter. Too much flour? I like the idea of pumpkin tiramisu, but something went wrong.

        I never had any issues with this cake not turning out spongy. It's hard for me to say what went wrong without more information. I would suggest not to give up and try again.

      I made this cake following the recipe as written. My cake turned out very dense and not at all like the sponge/biskvit cakes I’m used to. Seemed to me like there is too much flour for the amount of eggs/sugar ratio. Also, this much flour made the cake taste and have texture more like a bread. I wonder if something went wrong or is it supposed to be like that?

        It sounds like air bubbles were deflated during mixing (it got over mixed). The ratio is correct. The batter before baking should be very airy or foamy. The cake sponges should be very light, airy, and soft (just like the pictures show) after they get backed. Give another try, practice makes perfect!

      If I don't have homemade pumpkin purée, will the store bought in the cans work well for this recipe also?

        It should work as well. You may need to reduce the flour amount a little, because the store bought pumpkin puree is much thicker.
