Pumpkin spice cake #glutenfree #sugarfree

Pumpkin spice cake is all about its wonderful smell. Who can resist the magic perfume of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves in the house?

Well, I can’t. That’s why every now and then I make this cake at home and to make it even more special, I add a delicious greek yogurt frosting. God, this is to die for!

Ingredients

• Frosting
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup of unsweetened greek yogurt
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

  • 4 tablespoons of psyllium
  • a pinch of salt
  • 4 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup of coconut oil, melted (120ml)
  • 400g of baked and cool pumpkin, mashed
  • 1/2 cup of raw honey (or any sweetener you like)
