Fall is the time of year that you want to break into the pumpkin and spices to get into the spirit of the season. This Pumpkin Tea Cake recipe is super easy to make and can even be made with lower calories ingredients. Let's get right into it!

Pumpkin Tea Cake Recipe

Start with your dry Ingredients:

1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Sugar or Sugar Substitute for lower calorie option
1 ½ Tsp Cinnamon
½ Tsp Nutmeg
¼ Tsp Ground Cloves
½ Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1 Tsp Baking Soda

Then add your wet ingredients:

1 15oz Can Pumpkin Puree
2 Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla

Mix!

Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Pour mixture into a bread pan. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for 55 minutes.

Make it extra delicious with some frosting!

⅓ cup of cream cheese (you can use fat free)
1 Tbsp of Maple Syrup (can use sugar free for low calorie option)
You can add in some Cinnamon, Nutmeg, All Spice or whatever you want for some extra fall flavor to your icing).

Mix! I used my hand blender to mix. Much easier!

Place icing on the top!

This Pumpkin Cake comes out soft and lovely.

Tips:

Check it with a toothpick:

Use a toothpick part way through the bake to make sure it isn't done early. Ovens can vary in temperatures. Poke the toothpick into the bread and if it comes out clean it is done.

What tea to pair it with:

Pumpkin Spice for sure! This is the perfect fall tea and companion to a fall tea cake. Hardcore Pumpkin Spice fans this is for you!

Black Magnolia Black tea is great to pair with this tea if you would like less spice and just want to take in the flavors of the cake without mixing with the flavors of a tea.
