Spiced Pumpkin Cake with Maple Icing

As pumpkin is one of the sweetest vegetables available you can understand why sweet flavour matches like pumpkin and maple syrup work so well.

This cake is similar to a Carrot Cake flavour and texture mixed with a Pumpkin Pie, which has quickly become my favourite for a long time.

A simple, easy and moreish cake that will leave you satisfied!

Ingredients:

Cake:

  • 250g butter
  • 90g sugar
  • 3 eggs

  • ½ ground mixed spice

  4. Add the cooled mashed pumpkin and maple syrup and beat until well combine.
