Pumpkin Spice Cake with Maple Frosting image

I can't take the credit for this recipe for I found it on a food manufactures website but tweaked it a little. It's easy and tastes like fall. I also love this recipe because it's so versatile. Add coconut & raisins to the cake and omit the maple syrup from the frosting.
