Directions
Pumpkin Spice Cake With Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting, Layers of cake cushioned with Pumpkin Cream-Cheese Frosting create a lasting impression even before you take the first bite One taste of this moist cake and creamy icing, and the traditional pumpkin pie may have to make room on the for a new holiday favorite , Love this recipe! The only problem I had was the frosting being too runny, but that could have been because used fresh cooked pumpkin instead of canned Next time I’ll probably not use the juice, I thought the frosting tasted more like orange than pumpkin, This was excellent! I made this as a special Thanksgiving treat as an American living in England I made it as cupcakes instead of one big cake, and it worked out really well! I took loads of them to a ladies’ meeting I had on Thanksgiving night and they raved about it, asking for the recipe It’s amazing and will definitely be turning up in our house each Halloween/Thanksgiving It’s loads better than Pumpkin Pie anyday!
