It’s pumpkin season and Halloween is practically days away, but it’s never too late to make this pumpkin pound cake.
This recipe is so easy, but so good.
The aroma of the pumpkin pie spice lingered in the kitchen but the taste is even better.
The cake is moist, utterly buttery, with just the right amount of sugar.
We topped the cake with some sliced almonds and that completely elevated the pumpkin pound cake into a new realm as every bite was nutty with a nice crunch and texture.
Go to the store and buy a can of pumpkin puree now…I assure you that this pumpkin pound cake recipe is a keeper.
It’s something you will want to make over and over again, not just for Fall or Halloween, but any time of the year.
Enjoy!

Can I omit the pumpkin pie mix ? Not available in my country.
Rasa Malaysia
You can but pumpkin pie spice is made of ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg and ground cloves.

Looks delicious and I love anything to do with pumpkin. I will give it a try but I’m not good when it comes to cup measurement, kindly are you able to put the measurement in grams/ozs., please.

Hi Nancy, you can buy the measuring cups from Tesco or any baking stores. I do not have measurement in grams/oz in this recipe. This pumpkin pound cake is absolutely yummy!
