Now that we are well into fall let us embrace it with pumpkin recipes. Pumpkin is nutritionally packed, fiber-rich, and best known for its source of beta-carotene.

Pumpkin is an excellent replacement for fats in baking and unwanted calories, thus making desserts healthier.

Apple-Honey Pumpkin Cake Recipe Overview

To make this pumpkin cake, first, you make a layer of honey, butter, apples and pecans. Then, for the second layer, the soft cake, you add pumpkin and pumpkin spices to a simple batter.

Once the cake is finished baking, you invert it onto a plate. The cake will feature a stunning topping made with juicy apples and pecans in a buttery honey glaze. 

The apples are tender, mildly flavoured with honey, adding a lot of punch to this cake. There is nothing dry and crumbly about this gluten-free cake! The pecans are a nice touch because they add some crunch and nutty flavour. 

 This gluten-free cake is not super fancy, but it is incredibly delicious.

This recipe is probably one of my most favourite gluten-free fall cake recipes. How can it not be? Every bite is filled with a soft and moist pumpkin cake topped with a yummy apple-honey pecan topping. It doesn’t get any better than this! 

 I like to serve the cake slightly warm because fall is all about warm and cozy. Serving this pumpkin cake is my preference. Maybe add a dollop of whipped cream?
