Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a greased 9x9 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then blend in the vanilla extract, buttermilk, and canned pumpkin puree.
- Gently add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-38 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Prepare the latte soak by whisking together the brewed espresso, whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and spices.
- Whip together the softened butter and cream cheese for the frosting, then add powdered sugar and instant espresso powder until smooth.
- Once the cake cools, poke holes in the top and pour the latte soak evenly over it to infuse flavors.
- Frost the soaked cake with the cream cheese frosting and garnish with sprinkles of pumpkin pie spice before serving.

Notes
For best results, allow wet ingredients to be at room temperature. Measure flour correctly to avoid a dense cake.
