This is the time of year when I overdose on all things pumpkin. Pie. Lattes. Cookies. Butter. Ice Cream. Smoothies. Granola... the list never ends. Here's a new one: cake. And I apologize in advance for the extreme number of pumpkin posts that are sure to follow this one.. or I would, if they weren't all so wonderful.
It's fall. Embrace the pumpkin.

This cake is moist and full of bold pumpkin flavor. The cream cheese frosting puts it over the top. Enjoy on a chilly fall evening!
What kind of flour did you use?
ReplyDeleteIn the frosting, it is three ounces of cream cheese, right? Do you spread the frosting on while the cake is hot or room temperature?
ReplyDeleteYes! And I let it cool to room temp.
