Pumpkin Cake Cheesecake is one of the best desserts you will ever try! Layers of delicious cheesecake and moist pumpkin cake topped with an incredible frosting – all homemade!
This is such an incredible and insanely delicious cheesecake recipe!! I love to bake so much, especially when fall baking time rolls around and christmas time too!
WHen baking this cake the whole entire house was filled with ‘Fall’ aroma… the family could hardly wait to dig in!
I’ll be making this at least 3 more times this season … maybe even still this week again … I’d love to share it with everyone! I am going to be giving out slices as gifts this Fall!
This cheesecake/cake is a great alternative to traditional pumpkin pie, especially for those cheesecake fans out there! Combining these two flavors is nothing short of outstanding!
This cheesecake cake reminds me a bit of the pumpkin cheesecake we used to eat at this 5 star restaurant in Boston, years ago. Their pastry chef made it every fall!
To make it even better? Ive also melted together a bag of caramels and a can of evaporated milk to make a caramel sauce. I drizzled caramel sauce over each slice before serving – it was also amazing!
This is sure to be a huge hit this Fall when baking season comes around- everyone is going to go crazy over it- you will get so many rave reviews! Perfect for bake sales, pot lucks or just a wonderful fall time dessert everyone will be thanking you for! 😉
