    Ingredients

    • Eggs
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Pumpkin Puree
    • Gluten Free Flour
    • Xanthan Gum
    • Baking Powder
    • Baking Soda
    • Sea Salt
    • Ground Cinnamon
    • Pumpkin Pie Spice
    • Cream Cheese
    • Unsalted Butter
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Milk
    • Powdered Sugar

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Grease two nine inch or 5 six inch cake pans with butter or coconut oil.

    In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.

    In a stand mixer add the eggs, sugar and pumpkin puree. Mix until well blended together. Add the dry mixture ½ cup at a time until all is blended smoothly together. 

    Pour into greased pans and bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking time will be effected by whether you use mini pans or 9-inch cake pans.

    For the frosting in a mixer blend together the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the milk and powdered sugar and blend until smooth.

    I suggest waiting a day for the cakes to cool before frosting. Add a crumb coating of frosting between each layer and on the outside of the layered cake. Place in the freezer for at least one hour. When the crumb coating is set use the rest of the frosting to completely frost the cake.

    I garnished the cake with flowers, but toasted walnuts would also be a delicious option.

    Ingredients

    Scale

    Cake:

    • 4 large Eggs
    • 1 ½ cups Granulated Sugar
    • 2 cups Pumpkin Puree
    • 2 cups Gluten Free Flour
    • 1 ½ tsp. Xanthan Gum
    • 3 tsp. Baking Powder
    • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
    • 1 tsp. Sea Salt
    • ½ tsp. Ground Cinnamon
    • 1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

    Frosting:

    • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, at room temperature
    • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
    • 2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
    • 2 Tbsp. Almond Milk, or milk of choice
    • 3 cups Powdered Sugar

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Grease two nine inch or 5 six inch cake pans with butter or coconut oil.

    In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.

    In a stand mixer add the eggs, sugar and pumpkin puree. Mix until well blended together. Add the dry mixture ½ cup at a time until all is blended smoothly together. 

    Pour into greased pans and bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking time will be effected by whether you use mini pans or 9-inch cake pans.

    Notes

    • Make sure you are using room temperature cream cheese and butter for the frosting so you don't get lumps.
    • I like to use full-fat cream cheese for the frosting. I think the texture is better.

    Top Tip

    The combination of pumpkin and cream cheese is one of my favorite fall treats. This gluten free Pumpkin Cake would be perfect for a fall birthday or for a gathering. The cake is easy to make ahead and then frost the day of your event.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How long will pumpkin cake last?

    I would suggest making the cake a day in advance of when you want to serve it. Then the next day your cakes will be completely cooled and ready to frost. This cake is best eaten the same day but will last for three days before getting dry. Store the leftover cake in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

    Can I freeze pumpkin cake?

    You can freeze the cake itself, but I would not freeze it once it has been frosted. The cream cheese frosting will not hold up to being frozen. You could make the cakes in advance, freeze them and then get them out the day before you want to frost them.

    To freeze, wrap the cooled cakes in plastic wrap and then again in aluminum foil. Place the cakes in the freezer for no more than one month. This is a great way to have the baking done for the holidays or a gathering.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are cake donuts the same as baked donuts?

    Yes. Baked donuts are made with a cake type recipe that will rise in a donut pan in the oven. They aren't fried like donuts you may purchase from the store.

    Skipping the frying makes baked or cake donuts a healthier option. They still have a great donut flavor, but with fewer calories. Plus there isn't an oil mess to clean up either.

    How do you get the donut batter into the pans?

    First, make sure you've greased your donuts pans with butter or coconut oil so the donuts come out of them easily.

    Spoon the gluten free baked pumpkin donut batter into a gallon plastic bag. Snip the corner of the bag with scissors. Press the batter out into the donut pans like you are frosting a cake.

    This method will allow you to get nice circles into the donut pans. I've also tried spooning the batter into he donut pans, but it's time consuming, messy and you don't always get a nice donut shape.

    Top Tips

    I used these Nordic Ware Donut Pans. They are nonstick and work amazing! It's worth buying two pans. Most recipes make a dozen donuts and even if they don't they are so delicious you will want twelve.

    These donuts are delicious with cinnamon and sugar on them, but our favorite way to eat them is with the chocolate glaze. I love the combination of pumpkin and chocolate!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is canned pumpkin puree gluten free?

    The Libby's brand canned pumpkin puree is gluten free. You will want to check the label on anything you are using, but most canned pumpkin puree is gluten free.

    If you aren't sure you can always make your own pumpkin puree. I like to use my instant pot for cooking the sugar pumpkin. Place the metal trivet in the pot and add one cup of water. Poke some holes in the sugar pumpkin and place in the pressure pot.

    Cook on manual for 15 minutes and let the steam release naturally. Remove the lid and let the pumpkin cool. Take the pumpkin out of the pot and cut out the stem. Remove any seeds or stringy parts. Using a spoon remove the pumpkin flesh from the skin and place in a bowl. Use an immersion blender to puree the pumpkin.

    How do I make a gluten free cake more moist?

    My two favorite remedies for a gluten free cake that is too dry is to either add a bit more fat (butter, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc.) or to add some applesauce.

    For this gluten free pumpkin oatmeal cake if you are making your own pumpkin puree it may be a bit dryer than what you would buy canned from the store. If that's the case start by adding a ¼ cup of applesauce to this recipe.

    You can also add 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup of brown sugar to a recipe to make it more moist. Although this will also make the recipe sweeter than using unsweetened applesauce would.

    Top Tip

    This recipe uses my gluten free gingersnap cookie recipe. You can bake those 2-3 days in advance so they are ready to use when you assemble your gluten free pumpkin mousse parfaits. I made homemade whipped cream, but you could also use store bought whipped cream to make assembling these desserts even easier.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can these parfaits be made ahead?

    Yes! Making these gluten free pumpkin gingersnap parfaits a day in advance is my favorite way to serve this dessert. I think the flavor intensifies and gets even better when these pumpkin mousse parfaits have at least a day in the refrigerator.

    Being able to make this dessert ahead of a gathering is one of my favorite things about it. Not having to worry about making dessert the day of an event is such a relief.

    How long will these parfaits last?

    These gluten free pumpkin gingersnap parfaits will last in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. If they are left any longer the cookie portion will start to get mushy. To store them place a lid or plastic wrap over each cup to keep air and moisture out.
