2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mix pumpkin purée and eggs until smooth. Fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
To make the cheesecake filling, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Blend in heavy cream until smooth.
Once cakes are cooled, layer one on a serving plate and spread cheesecake filling on top before adding the second layer. Top with remaining filling as desired.
