Cinnamon, pumpkin, and maple syrup all combined into one amazing cake! What more could you want, right??
Last weekend, my hubby whipped this up for us and it was a hit! It was the perfect Fall treat and we really enjoyed it! The cake was moist, fluffy, packed with flavor, and the topping was the perfect amount of sweetness!
We enjoyed this as a breakfast treat, but it would also be great for having company over, evening dessert, etc.
With Fall here, definitely try this cake! You’ll be glad you did!!
A perfect Fall treat! This cake is packed with flavor, simple to prepare, and the topping alone will have you going back for seconds!

Yummy
Agreed!! Hope you enjoy!
every thing looks good
Thanks!! Hope you enjoy this!
The picture looks like a 9 by 13 pan. What is the size again?
I use an 8 x 8 unless doubling the recipe!
I made this last night and it didn’t turn out. I doubled the recipe, but the cake is very dense! What did I do wrong?
Hmmmm, I notice this cake gets too dense if I beat the batter too long, don’t cream the butter and sugar together in the beginning, etc. Do you think that could have happened in your case?
I made the cake for my.mother on laws birthday.
It was heavy as a rock. It was dense. I would not recommend it.
Oh what a bummer and to have it be a flop for a birthday cake! So sorry!! Did you check out the video tutorial? Hopefully that helps! Such a bummer nonetheless though!
