Pumpkin Spice Cake With Maple Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Pumpkin Spice Cake With Maple Buttercream Frosting

From jaeleepoms 16 years ago

This pumpkin cake is so moist and fluffy. I've paired it with a maple buttercream frosting for a nice autumn dessert.

FOR CAKE: Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside. (you can use cake pans or make as cupcakes too - just adjust cooking time).
In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix and baking soda. Add pumpkin puree, eggs, water and oil. (You can omit oil, but I add it to make the cake extra fluffy and moist). Beat on low speed until thoroughly combined. Beat on medium speed for about 1 minute. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
FOR FROSTING: Cream together butter and shortening. Add maple syrup and extract. Gradually add confectioners' sugar and thin with cream until light and airy. Add more cream/milk/maple syrup to thin frosting to the consistency you'd like.

Here's a tip: if you can find it, get a grade B pure maple syrup to use for baking and cooking. It has a stronger maple flavor without thinning down your sauces and batters as much as you would having to add more of the grade A.

I just made this today in a 9x13 pan for my mom. It's nearly gone! I sent half of it home with my mom, and my hubby and I have nearly polished off the other part. I used a yellow cake mix and then added pumpkin pie spices until I got the level of spice I wanted to it.
