Pumpkin Pie Cake

This one goes out to all you pumpkin dessert lovers who just cannot get on board with pumpkin pie. We got you covered.

As thanksgiving slowly approaches, the one thing on everyone's mind (probably just ours) is what's on the dessert menu?!

The options are endless!

Unfortunately, there's always that one person in the family who gets tasked with bringing the dessert. And they always bring one thing that never works for everyone: pumpkin pie.

Look, we said what we said. This is a highly controversial take, but not everyone loves pumpkin pie. 

Maybe its the taste, maybe it's the consistency, or maybe it's the fact that it's baked, yet it doesn't feel like it is. You know?

We're all about finding what works for everyone without skimping on the flavor.

Which is why we crafted the most delicious Pumpkin Pie Cake that everyone is sure to love. Topped with a orange zest cream cheese frosting and the cutest, pumpkin spiced flavored pumpkins, this cake is going to be a MAJOR crowd pleaser.

We can feel it. 

It's got something everyone will love. 

The secret ingredient(s):

Our Amoretti® Natural Pumpkin Pie Water Soluble Extract.

It's sweet, spicy, and tastes like the whole pie--without the weirdness we've been talking about. Trust, we got you.

The addition of this extract just takes the cake to a whole other level. We're not sacrificing flavor here. 

Paired with our orange zest buttercream, you're going to lose your mind over how good this tastes.

Oh! Let's say you want more spice than you do pumpkin. No worries! Just switch out the Amoretti® Natural Pumpkin Pie Water Soluble Extract for our Amoretti® Natural Pumpkin Spice Artisan Flavor Paste.

We've tried this, and can confirm, it's just as good. 

Luckily, you only need a few things to whip this guy up!

Oh and did we mention that this cake is also gluten-free and dairy-free? So now literally any and everyone can enjoy a slice of pumpkin heaven.

Get ready for the best, most fluffy and moist cake of your life!
