      Maple Glazed Pumpkin Cinnamon Cake

To tell the truth I have always been more of an Apple everything and anything Fall Recipe kind of person.  Pumpkin was always meh!

But lately from making my own Homemade Pumpkin Puree to remaking and reshooting my Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce (still to be posted) and of course this delicious Maple Glazed Pumpkin Cinnamon Cake I almost changed my mind.

How to make Pumpkin Puree

• Clean and chop the pumpkin into large pieces, then place in large pot, make sure to cover the pumpkin with enough water. Bring to a boil, continue on a low boil until tender.
• Drain the pumpkin well, and place in blender, blend until smooth.
• Place unused puree in glass or plastic containers and refrigerate for up to 7 days or can be frozen for several months.

Almost I said 🙂 .  Sorry Pumpkin, but Apple will always be number one!

But I do know that a lot of people prefer Pumpkin and one of those happens to be my husband.  Yes the Italian cannot get enough pumpkin recipes.

A couple he has added to the list are Pumpkin Gelato and pumpkin cookies!

This Maple Glazed Pumpkin Cinnamon Cake was so easy to make and came together in no time.  And the Pumpkin and Cinnamon made the house smell amazing.

Then of course I couldn’t help but drizzle it with one of my favourite glazes, Maple Glaze.
