Gluten-Free Pumpkin Spice Cake image

OK, just got the double thumbs up and a jumbled "thsrcxs!" from kids with mouths full of cake, so I guess it's a keeper. Took 2 different recipes, added my own twists and there you have it.

Time 50m

Yield 1 9x13 pan, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 eggs
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup gluten-free oats
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups gluten-free baking mix
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2-3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray or prep 9x13 baking dish.
  • Mix together in large bowl: eggs, sugar, butter, pumpkin, applesauce, oats, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside and let sit for at least 5 minutes. (Allows oats to soften and spices to "mingle.").
  • In medium mixing bowl, combine baking mix, baking soda, baking powder, and xanthan gum. Add slowly to wet ingredients, mix well, but do not overmix.
  • Pour into prepared baking dish, bake for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • For Icing:.
  • While cake cools, mix all icing ingredients together, beat for 1 minutes.
  • I iced the cake while still warm, poked cake with toothpick, so icing soaked into cake.
  • Garnish with chopped pecans or walnuts on icing, if you want.
