Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Category: Sweets
Best for: Baking
Serves: 1 cake

This recipe came to life when I accidentally bought canned pumpkin pie filling instead of canned pumpkin! After playing around with different sugar and filling ratios, it turns out, it makes for a deliciously flavorful cake. With the addition of Grass Fed Heritage Yogurt and Butter it is perfectly moist.   Pair it with our silky smooth cream cheese frosting and it is a fantastic fall treat!

This cream cheese frosting might be our very favourite. We add a touch of pumpkin pie spice to really bring the flavours together.  Use the back of a spoon to spread the frosting and make picture-perfect swirls.
