Best way to cover a pumpkin cake? Looking for suggestions!

What’s the best method to cover a pumpkin cake? I want to keep it moist but not too heavy on the frosting. Any suggestions?

For keeping your pumpkin cake moist without going too heavy on the frosting, try using a light cream cheese glaze. Just drizzle it over the top for a touch of sweetness and moisture without overpowering the cake. Another option is to cover the cake with a thin layer of whipped cream. Both methods will keep your cake deliciously moist while letting the pumpkin flavor shine through. Happy baking!

Instead of a heavy frosting, you could make a light cream cheese glaze. It adds a nice tangy sweetness without being too much. Just mix some cream cheese with a bit of powdered sugar and a splash of milk until it’s pourable.

How about a thin coat of whipped cream? It adds moisture without overwhelming that delicious pumpkin flavor!

I think whipped cream with a dash of cinnamon is amazing. It’s light and complements the pumpkin well though.

Consider using a cream cheese frosting or a smooth ganache to cover your pumpkin cake, and for added flair, decorate with fondant pumpkins or a sprinkle of cinnamon and powdered sugar!
