Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or wrap parchment paper on the bottom and tightly around the walls of the springform pan, set aside
To make pumpkin cake:

  4. Spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cheesecake
  5. Cover and refrigerate cheesecake until ready to serve
  6. Before serving run a thin knife around the cake and release the ring of the springform pan

    I would like to make a larger cheesecake to take away. Do you think I could make 1 1/2 batches and then put it in a larger springform pan?
