Cuisine: Gluten Free
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp tahini (for icing)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or round baking pan with cooking spray or oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten free all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and coconut sugar. Whisk dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and tahini until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix gently until a consistent batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer batter into the prepared skillet, spreading evenly with a spatula and creating a smooth surface.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While cake is baking, prepare the cinnamon tahini cream cheese icing by beating softened cream cheese with tahini and maple syrup until smooth and creamy.
- Remove skillet from oven and let cake cool for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Once slightly cooled, spread cinnamon tahini cream cheese icing evenly over the top of the cake.
- Slice and serve warm, optionally garnishing with additional cinnamon or chopped nuts.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened and ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest batter and creamiest icing.
- Don't Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake.
- Skillet Selection: A cast-iron skillet provides the best heat distribution and creates a beautiful, slightly crispy exterior.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before adding the icing to prevent it from melting or becoming too runny.
- Customize Your Toppings: Experiment with garnishes like chopped pecans, a sprinkle of extra cinnamon, or a drizzle of maple syrup to make the cake your own.
- Storage Tip: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Gently warm before serving for the best taste and texture.
