Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup pumpkin puree
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup pure maple syrup
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp pure maple syrup (for the glaze)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, and maple syrup until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
While cooling, prepare the maple glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth.
Once cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the cake before slicing.
