Step by Step Method

Step 1

Heat oven to 350F. Coat 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray, tap to remove air bubbles.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl (KitchenAid mixer), beat sugar and butter on medium speed until fluffy. Add pumpkin, beating well. Next, add egg substitute and vanilla, again, beating well.

Step 3

Sift cake flour, then spoon into measuring cups. Place flour in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in dry ingredients (baking soda through nutmeg).

Step 4

Alternately add flour mixture and milk to butter mixture (beginning and ending with flour).

Step 5

Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool 10 minutes on wire rack, remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack.

Step 7

Prepare frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 CUP powdered sugar and cream cheese on medium speed. Add remaining powdered sugar and orange zest. Beat until fluffy.

Step 8

Put a cake layer on a serving plate. Spread 2/3 cup frosting over first layer. Top with second layer. Spread remaining frosting on top only (not sides).

Step 9

Arrange orange slices in a ring around the outer edge of the top layer. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds in a circle in the middle.
