Anything pumpkin makes me think of beautiful Fall days filled with crisp air and colourful trees.  This pumpkin cake is perfect for any Fall celebration, afternoon tea or a book club gathering.  It’s easy to make, filled with Fall flavours and the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Icing adds the perfect twist to a traditional icing.  Grab some pumpkin and let’s make a cake!
