Epic Pumpkin Spice Cake

Fall weather is finally here! For me that means it’s time for all my favourite fall activities including seasonal baking. This pumpkin spice cake is super easy to make and is sure to wow your guests.

It’s a moist and pleasantly spicy cake reminiscent of all things fall. Texture wise it’s closer to a carrot cake, and its spice level is comparable to a gingerbread loaf. It almost tastes like a fusion between a pumpkin pie and a pumpkin loaf.  I think it’s going to become a new fall staple for my family!
