Happy Halloween! We’re all ready for trick-or-treating! We’re going to dress up as a family of spooky skeletons this year. What are you going to be?
We love this time of year. There are lots of harvest festivals and Halloween parties to go to, and this Pumpkin Cake is a great treat to bring along. Our friend, Ella, first introduced us to pumpkin cake. Her mom made it and it was super yummy. But, Talia couldn’t have it because there was gluten and dairy in it and she knew it would upset her belly. So we went home and made a gluten and dairy-free version that we think came out fantastic. It’s been a huge hit with our family and friends!
We just love pumpkin and look for any recipe we can find to use it…especially at this time of the year. Not only is pumpkin super-tasty, it’s also really healthy for you too! It is high in fiber and potassium, which means it helps your belly digest your food better. It also has a lot of iron, which helps to boost your immunity and keeps you from getting sick.
And isn’t this the cutest cake pan?! We hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as we do! If you like these recipes, please subscribe to our channel! Thanks so much for watching and have a happy Halloween!
