Chocolate Pumpkin Layer Cake

This cake is decorated for fall, or Halloween or Thanksgiving with its orange frosting. The frosting is a buttercream cream cheese frosting flavored with Cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. I colored it orange but it can be colored any color or left white for any occasion. The pumpkin flavor is subtle but it makes the cake very moist as well!
