How to Make Fall Harvest Cake

  1. **Make the Frosting:** In a mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add 3-4 cups powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy and desired spreading consistency is reached. Add more powdered sugar if needed.
  3. **Make the Cake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, and 1 cup vegetable oil.
  5. Gradually add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped pecans and 1 cup peeled and chopped apples.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once completely cool, frost generously with the prepared cream cheese frosting.
