This pumpkin cake was our dessert Halloween night. Every year for Halloween I cook up all kinds of soups, have a wide array of breads and crackers to go with it, and a dessert to enjoy . The grandparents are always over, my niece and whomever else decided to pop in that day. This year, my daughter, Josie, had 6 girlfriends over to eat, trick or treat and sleepover night. This Cinderella cake was perfect!! I mean, the cream cheese frosting, alone … SWOON!
I love to have something pumpkin on the menu, and I set out to find a cake recipe that fit what I had in mind. Pinterest is typically my first stop to look, and I found 4 that were *almost* the same. I fell in love with this one, not only because it was wrapped in that amazing cream cheese frosting, but I loved the name. “Cinderella Cake-” what little girl doesn’t love Cinderella? Most of us have dressed up like her for Halloween, am I right?
