Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese and beat until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and flour, mixing thoroughly.
- Incorporate vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, blending until well combined.
- Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream while mixing on low speed, then gradually increase to high.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 200°F and bake for another 30-35 minutes.
- Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 15 minutes and then refrigerate overnight.
Spice Cake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-inch cake pan with vegetable shortening and flour.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and spices in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Cream together softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing well.
- Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk until just combined.
- Pour the spice cake batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 15-17 minutes.
- Cool the spice cake to room temperature and refrigerate overnight to enhance flavors.
Frosting and Assembly
- Beat the softened unsalted butter until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing thoroughly.
- Add optional cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cold heavy whipping cream, mixing until the frosting is light and whipped.
- Trim each layer of cheesecake and spice cake to be uniform in size. Layer the cheesecake first, then add frosting, followed by the spice cake.
- Carefully trim and layer the pumpkin pie, then frost the entire cake with half of the remaining frosting.
- Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes before adding the remaining frosting and any piping or garnishes.

Notes
Chill the cheesecake overnight for best texture. Bake low and slow to prevent cracks. Trim layers for uniformity.
