Delicious Pumpkin Layered Magic Cake – Thanksgiving Desserts

Made this for thanksgiving.. Everyone loved it. It was creamy and not to sweet. Even family members who don’t normally like pumpkin desserts gave it a thumbs up! The whipped cream ‘frosting was a perfect compliment and will be my go to going forward for other types of cakes as well…so light a fresh!

The pumpkin and cake layers in this dessert magically switch places as they’re baking and then get topped with a gorgeously fluffy cream cheese whipped cream.. Will be making this again. Super impressed.
