In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil and beat with a mixer on medium speed until combined, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the pumpkin puree in 2 batches, mixing between each addition until the batter is smooth.

Divide the batter between the cake pans. Tap the pans on the counter 8 to 10 times to remove any air bubbles.

Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 30 to ⏱️ 35 minutes. Let cool in the pans for ⏱️ 15 minutes, then remove the cakes to a rack and let cool completely.

Meanwhile make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until smooth, about ⏱️ 3 minutes.

If the tops of the cakes are domed, trim them with a long serrated knife to make them level. Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand or platter. Spread with about 2 cups of the frosting. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
