Pumpkin cake w/ Maple nut filling
A deliciously moist cake combined with this easy to make maple nut filling is a new take on the old favorite holiday staple, pumpkin.
I made this as a “test” cake to see if the flavors meshed well, I tried it on friends and family who all loved it. If you’ve ever had a pumpkin roll .. this cake tastes very similar. And the filling can be used as a frosting and is simply delicious.
