Fall Desserts inspired by Bath and Body Works – Part 3 – Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake

Hello sweet friends,

Our final post in the Bath and Body Works themed recipe series includes this Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Cake recipe, inspired by the fall candle of the same name. As I mentioned in my previous posts, this entire concept was dreamed up by my teenage daughter who loves all the fall fragrances at Bath and Body Works. At the end of the day, anything can inspire great recipes, and this sweet cinnamon pumpkin cake is certainly no exception!

This cinnamon cake is extra moist due to pumpkin filling added to the batter. Unlike the pumpkin cupcakes, however, this recipe pumps up the cinnamon flavor and several other ingredients to give it that over-the-top cinnamon sweetness. Top it off with cream cheese drizzle, and you have the perfect recipe for any seasonal celebration.

Give this recipe a try and let us know how it turns out!
