To make the cake
Grease and flour a bundt cake pan (or two loaf pans). Preheat oven to 350º
In medium size mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside. In larger bowl, use electric hand mixer to combine sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla extract until smooth. Alternate adding flour mixture and pumpkin purée into wet ingredients. Mix until left with a smooth orange colored cake batter. Pour into cake pan and bake approximately 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely before frosting, or enjoy as-is.

To make the cream cheese frosting
Cream together butter and cream cheese with electric hand mixer until smooth. Add in vanilla extract and continue to mix. Sift in powdered sugar a little at a time, while mixing at Low speed. For thicker icing, add more powdered sugar. If you prefer a thinner icing, you can add a few drops of milk. Mix until smooth.
*This recipe will frost a two layer cake. When I use it to frost just the top of a bundt cake, I cut this recipe in half.
