How to cook Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

For the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 180C/355F.
2. Line an 8x8" baking tin with baking paper and set aside.
3. Add all of your cake ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and stir until just combined.
4. Pour your cake batter into your prepared tin, spreading to form an even layer.
5. Bake your cake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. A skewer or toothpick inserted into the middle should remove clean and it should be relatively firm to the touch.
6. Leave your cake to cool on a wire rack before frosting.

For the Frosting

1. To make the frosting, add your butter and cream cheese to a mixer and beat on high until combined. Add in your icing sugar and begin mixing on a low speed until all of your sugar is incorporated, then whip on high speed for ~ 1 minute.
2. Spread your frosting over your cake, slice and serve!
3. This cake will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days.

NOTES:

*You can use block or spreadable cream cheese. I used light spreadable cream cheese for the pictured cake which just made a slightly runnier frosting. Block cream cheese will make a thicker frosting.

**Adjust the frosting ingredients to suit your preferences. If you want it thicker, add some more icing sugar etc.
