Ingredients

  • For the Pumpkin Spice Cake:
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • For the Maple Brown Sugar Icing:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp coconut cream or heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • For the Pumpkin Spice Cake:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare two 8 inch baking trays but oiling them and dusting them with flour. Then, cut 4 strips of parchment paper (long enough to drape over the sides of the baking tray) and place these, criss-cross on the bottom of each of the baking trays.
  • Then, in a mixing bowl, mix together the oil, butter and sugar, using an electric mixer.
  • Then add in the two eggs and beat well.
  • In another bowl mix together the all purpose flour, salt, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice.
  • Then alternate adding in the pumpkin spiced flour into the butter oil mixture with the milk and beat well.
  • Pour the Pumpkin Spice Cake batter into the prepared baking trays and bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
  • Test to make sure cake is baked through by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Set the cake aside until it is completely cool.

    For the Maple Brown Sugar Icing:
    In a small pan, add in the butter, maple syrup and brown sugar, over medium heat.
  • Stir well together for about 3-4 minutes until mixture comes to a boil. Then turn the stove off and let this cool completely.
  • When cooled, use an electric mixture and gradually beat in the powdered sugar. Add in the vanilla and cream and beat well.
  • Use this to frost the cake with - between the layers and over the top and sides and enjoy!
  • *Cake can be placed in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic and frozen for upto a month (it hasn't lasted longer than that in our home) and thawed at room temperature and enjoyed then too.
