i made this today and what a beautiful cake. great easy instructions. i had it in for 60 mins., but i think it could have been in 5-10 min more. mine looked pretty much like the lovely photo here, but i must not be a good “marble-er”…i din’t get any swirls inside. the flavors and textures are deeelish! thanks.

Brooke – I’m SO happy you found me! And even happier that I found you the other day!! I love your blog and your cake is heavenly!! Believe it or not, I did try to swirl it and it still came out layered like that! Shows how great my “swirling” skills are!! Thank you for your sweet comment, and thanks for a fantastic recipe!

Oh, you divine thing, you! Imagine my delight to stumble upon your adorable blog…and THEN find my pretty little cake reincarnated. It’s beautiful! Truly, beautiful. I love how you layered it, rather than swirled it.

Happy Autumn baking, me sweet! So happy to find you!

With a Whisk: The original recipe calls for a cream cheese buttercream, but I thought that might make it a little too heavy so I left it out. If you wanted to do a light glaze, I’d suggest maple – the maple flavor isn’t quite as strong as the gingerbread and pumpkin, so I think it would be great to add an extra layer of maple!

Here is the link to the original recipe, in case you’d like the cream cheese icing:

Beautiful presentation! I can’t wait to make this for a chilly fall morning. If you were to make a glaze for it, do you think you would play up the maple or the pumpkin? Or just a simple spice-based glaze?
