source: Oprah Magazine November 2013

Cake:

vegetable oil cooking spray

2 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup (2 percent) Greek yogurt

1 large egg, beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree

whipped cream, for serving

Topping:

8 ounces of cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 large egg, beaten

1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup pecans, chopped

Directions

To make this Pumpkin-Pecan Cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place a rack in the center. Lightly coat a 9″ round spring-form pan with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

Mixing it together

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy; scraping the bowl occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add yogurt, egg, vanilla, and pumpkin and beat until combined. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined, scraping the bowl occasionally. Transfer all but 1/4 cup of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

To make topping: In a clean bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar, cinnamon, egg, and vanilla, until smooth. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture over the batter. using a small spoon, dollop reserved batter on top. Using a skewer or thin-blade knife, drag the tip through the cream cheese layer to create a swirl pattern. scatter pecans on top. bake until the top is lightly cracked and browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. (Loosely cover with foil if pecans darken too quickly.) Let cool completely before transferring the cake to a plate. Serve with whipped cream.
