- Frosting Ideas!
- The secret for making a moist and tender cake is to not overmix the batter.
- Make sure you grab pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. They are not the same thing.
- Let your eggs sit out for 30 minutes before using them so they are at room temperature and easier to mix into the batter.
- Add your favorite sprinkles – this is fun for holidays!
- Drizzle some chocolate sauce or caramel sauce over the top of the frosting for an extra special treat. I wouldn’t go too crazy with it, so use a light hand!
- You can also sprinkle nuts like chopped walnuts or pecans over the top for some crunch.
- You could also buy mellowcreme pumpkins and put one on each slice of cake!
- If you don’t like cream cheese frosting feel free to switch it to buttercream or other frosting of your choice. When I’ve been pressed for time, I’ve used store-bought frosting to make it even easier!
