Pumpkin Snack Cake #PumpkinWeek

Pumpkin Snack Cake

Pumpkin Snack Cake

It’s Pumpkin Week! What’s that mean? I teamed up with some fabulous bloggers and we’re going to be sharing delicious pumpkin recipes all week. A big thanks to Terri at Love and Confections for putting this all together! I can’t wait to see what everyone else is making. I’m kicking off the week with this delicious pumpkin snack cake with a cream cheese frosting. It is so moist and has just a hint of cinnamon throughout the cake.

roasting pumpkins

Have you ever roasted your own pumpkins? The best ones for baking are pie pumpkins and they are usually smaller than ones you’d use for carving. I’ve got a tutorial on how I do them here. I do use a lot of canned pumpkin too, the convenience can’t be beat. The bonus when you roast your own pumpkins is pumpkin seeds which I really enjoy. I freeze any extra pumpkin I have in 2 cups portions.

    After being spoiled by all my dad’s homemade pumpkin things complete with homemade pumpkin puree I rarely buy the canned stuff unless I am desperate and don’t have time/ran out of my frozen stocks of pumpkin. So I am all about this snack cake!

      I do buy the canned stuff but prefer fresh when I can get it. I still haven’t found pie pumpkins anywhere.
