I know that I have been on pumpkin overload lately but I just can’t help it.  I love the flavor and moistness that baking with pumpkin creates.  In fact, the contrast between the soft cake and cinnamon sugar topping is one of the best parts of this Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Snack Cake.  I really can’t get over how awesome this cake is and how perfect it is for fall.

On Halloween where we live, everyone trick or treats in one area.  Our house just happens to be in the heart of it and so for a few hours we have a revolving door.  It is a bit like grand central station and so I like to make a few things for those who come by.  Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Snack Cake will be on the menu!

I love that this cake is so simple to pull together.  In just over 30 minutes you can have a delicious cake ready to serve friends and family.  I prefer to eat it warm but the kids eat the leftovers at room temperature.  The only thing I can think of that could make it any better would be a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The pumpkin cake batter comes together quickly.  Begin by mixing together the wet ingredients {make sure to let the butter cool before adding the eggs} and then add the dry ingredients.

Pour it into your prepared pan and sprinkle with your pumpkin spice {Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice} and cinnamon sugar topping.

It may seem like a lot of topping but I would go ahead and use it all.  Then it is ready to bake.

About 25 minutes later you have a delicious and super tender cake with a crunchy topping.  The flavors are a phenomenal combination that will have your taste buds dancing with delight.
