Pumpkin Poke Cake With Pumpkin Spice Frosting
Our Pumpkin Poke Cake with Pumpkin Spice Frosting has layers of flavor and then its topped with more pumpkin spice flavor. This is a very easy cake to make and it will be a great hit for any occasion. I have a lot of fun with the sprinkles of the season and wait till you find the special treat hidden in the frosting. My husband loves this cake and gets so excited when I start to make it, I have to guard the cake to get my photo's before he attacks it. It is truly a favorite here at the cottage!

Oh my gosh, does this ever sound wonderful!! I can understand why Leonard gets so excited when you make this. I want a slice right now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab recipe to come across. I keep thinking I must make one of the poke cakes I keep hearing about, the closest thing we have here in the UK is a lemon drizzle cake. As I ADORE pumpkin I'm going to give this recipe a go, adapting it to be GF I'm hoping the poke aspect will ensure it keeps lovely and moist.
