...with an orange, cinnamon dairy-free buttercream.Do I have your attention yet? Maybe this will help: There we GO! FOLKS. Hey! HI! Howdy! I am SO excited that it’s FINALLY October, so I can tell you all about this pumpkin cake I made a few weeks back. There’s a long, emotional backstory to why I made it when I did, but I will save you the details and instead discuss my love for all things pumpkin. Here’s the deal. I’m not a huge PSL girl (aside from this one product I found at the store), but when the fall air starts tingling, my tastebuds immediately seek out any pumpkin baked goodie. We usually make chocolate chip pumpkin muffins, but this time around, I wanted to make a CAKE. My new-found love for cake baking sparked my interest in making a fall-spiced, autumn-inspired pumpkin cake with a zesty orange, cinnamon buttercream frosting — all dairy-free of course. I stumbled across Sally’s Baking Addiction about a year ago, and every recipe I try from her, she absolutely NAILS the flavor, texture, and technique. So, of course I adapted her pumpkin cake recipe to be dairy free and then added my own buttercream recipe (here) to take it up a notch. I appreciate pumpkin goodies that actually taste like pumpkin and are properly spiced accordingly. If you tell me something is pumpkin, I'm going to expect that your claim is TRUE and will surpass my expectations...so that said! ON WITH THE GAMES! Fam, this is something you will be making throughout the fall season, so get those pantries stocked up with all the pumpkin you got because we are going places with this baby. Also, the cute lil pumpkin guys on top of the cake? Yes. I know you were wondering. No, I didn't make them — I don't have the proper marshmallow techniques HOWEVER, someone at Williams-Sonoma does, and I was able to pick these bad boys up up a few weeks back. Hurry! There's a sale happening and you can get a discount! Onward. Ingredients Recipe adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction | Makes a 3-tiered 6" cake Cake:

Can you use butter in place of the vegan butter?

Yes! In all my recipes it's a 1-to-1 substitution :)
