This pumpkin spice cake recipe is very flexible. I prefer to bake it in a sheet pan and slice it in squares for smaller servings, but it can be made into a layer cake too.

 

I also like to give it just a dollop of cinnamon spiced frosting, rather than entirely frosting the dessert, because I like the frosting to complement the flavors of the cake without overpowering it.

Then, I top it with some chopped pecans, but you can dress it up for Halloween with candy corn too!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
