Cake Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8‑inch round or square cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • Sprinkle in the pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt; stir gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. If using, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts evenly over the surface.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, beat together Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and pinch of cinnamon; mix until creamy.
  • Chill the frosting for 15–20 minutes to thicken slightly, then spread evenly over the cooled cake.

Garnish

  • Dust with cinnamon or pumpkin spice and add extra chopped nuts if desired before serving.

Notes

This cake is best served chilled and can be topped with extra nuts for added crunch.
