This Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Cake could be the best thing to happen to fall since, well…ever!!
Gluten Free Pumpkin Spice Cake
My husband created this gluten free pumpkin spice cake to use in an easy pumpkin spice ice cream cake recipe, but the cake itself is amazing enough to enjoy alone. So I’m sharing this recipe separately.
Gluten free cakes run the gamut — it can be difficult to re-create that fluffy, yet moist texture of traditional cakes. However this gluten free pumpkin spice cake nails it.
Finally, a pumpkin-flavored treat that you can eat without worrying about an upset tummy later!
So go ahead, grab a pumpkin spice latte and a slice of this decadent gluten free pumpkin spice cake, and go pumpkin wild!

Homemade Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup coconut milk
Combine ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Marianne Donahoe says
What size pan did you use? Does the pan need to be greased and floured?
Stacey aka the Soccer Mom says
Hi Marianne – I believe we used a 9″ round. We always grease our pans with butter first. Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll make sure to fix the post so it is more clear!
