Pumpkin Cake with GCCCB Frosting

This recipe makes a gorgeous three-layer naked Pumpkin cake frosted with Graham Cracker Cream Cheese Buttercream. It is moist, fluffy and subtle in its sweetness. Excellent for thanksgiving and any fall occasion!

Mes amis, this is it, my hands are trembling in anticipation as I type this. A lot of pumpkin puree and eggs were sacrificed in the search for this recipe but nevertheless here it is—the perfect combination of Pumpkin cake and Graham Cracker Cream Cheese Buttercream (GCCCB) frosting. It is abso-freaking-lutely delicious.

  • Craving this mini hotpot ‘House Special Hot Soup w/ Instant Noodle’ ($16.99) at Mabu Generation. Location: #FirstMarkhamPlace, 3235 Hwy 7 E. Markham L3R 3P3 Thank you to @DKLoevents @MabuGeneration for this awesome tasting! #mabugeneration #6six #buzzfeast #delicious #eatfamous #eattheworld #feedfeed #foodgawker #foodoftheday #foodiegram #foodphotography #foodblog #foodlover #foodie #foodporn #francesmenu #huffposttaste #igfood #sponsored
  • One of the highlights visiting at @CANOrestaurant was the Polipo appetizer (grilled octopus with redskin potatoes and salmoriglio, $16). Quite flavourful and tender, a definite must try if you dine here. I also really enjoyed the Gnudi con Funghi (hand made ricotta gnudi with wild mushrooms and truffle cream, $19). Gnudi is basically a gnocchi that is made with ricotta cheese instead of potato, which makes it much less dense and results in a delightfully fluffy morsel. CANO restaurant is located in the St.Clair West Village area (1108 St. Clair West), offering fresh and local #Italian inspired #Tapas infused with #Mediterranean flavours. Thank you to @DKLoevents and @CANOrestaurant for the wonderful menu tasting! #DKLo #dkloevents #6six #buzzfeast #delicious #eatfamous #eattheworld #feedfeed #foodgawker #foodoftheday #foodiegram #foodphotography #foodblog #foodlover #sponsored #yyzeats #tofoodies #tastetoronto #tasteto #torontoeats #blogto #stclairwest #seafood
  • There’s something to be said about a meal with a view which is exactly what you will get at @SiloGrillatAGGC at @AngusGlenGolfClub. When delicious food and great company is paired with lush green grounds as far as the eye could see, the whole experience becomes unforgettable! No wonder this is a prefered wedding venue! The Pan Seared Salmon with shiitake mushrooms, orange miso glaze, sesame edamame medley was divine. The salmon was crispy on the outside, and tender, juicy and flakey on the inside. An absolute delight to bite into, go try it! In addition to the salmon, I also enjoyed the Salisbury Steak and deconstructed Cobb Salad. COMPLIMENTARY DESSERT: Post your pictures taken at the Silo Grill Restaurant, tagging the Angus Glen/Silo Grill location or accounts and receive a complimentary dessert! Valid until August 31, 2017.
