Spiced Pumpkin Layer Cake
Cake
Frosting
For cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch-diameter cake pans, line bottom of pans with parchment paper and dust with flour. Mix flour and first seven ingredients. Using electric-mixer, mix both sugars and oils in large bowl until combined. Add eggs one at a time until blended. Add pumpkin, vanilla, and orange peel; beat until well blended. Add flour mixture, mix until combined. Stir in raisins and 3/4 cup coconut. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake cakes until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, around one hour.
For frosting:
Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth, add dark rum and vanilla and incorporate. Slowly add in powdered sugar until smooth, do not over-beat frosting, it will get too runny to spread.
Place one cake on platter, spread half frosting onto top, top with second cake. Spread remaining frosting over top of cake, not the sides. Sprinkle with coconut!
Serve on a cake platter and place colorful fall leaves around it!
