Pumpkin Snack Cake #PumpkinWeek
 Pumpkin Snack Cake It’s Pumpkin Week! What’s that mean? I teamed up with some fabulous bloggers and we’re going to be sharing delicious pumpkin recipes all week. A big thanks to Terri at Love and Confections for putting this all together! I can’t wait to see what everyone else is making. I’m kicking off the week with this delicious pumpkin snack cake with a cream cheese frosting. It is so moist and has just a hint of cinnamon throughout the cake. Have you ever roasted your own pumpkins? The best ones for baking are pie pumpkins and they are usually smaller than ones you’d use for carving. I’ve got a tutorial on how I do them here. I do use a lot of canned pumpkin too, the convenience can’t be beat. The bonus when you roast your own pumpkins is pumpkin seeds which I really enjoy. I freeze any extra pumpkin I have in 2 cups portions.
