Notes

Use your favorite vanilla or cream cheese frosting. // The Nut/Cassava free Grain Free Flour Blend is ideal. However, the Grain Free Flour Blend can be used. // You’ll need to add 1/2 cup pumpkin puree to the wet ingredients. The texture of the cake with be slightly different but it’s a good substitute. Just keep in mind that the Grain Free Flour Blend has coconut which would mean that it would no longer be nut free. // Make sure to remove parchment paper before frosting.
