Autumn!!<\/h3>\n

So, the season is upon us… Autumn, pumpkin spice latte season… whatever you prefer. But either way, this is the ideal time to post another delicious recipe that involves the wonder that is pumpkin spice. Technically it was the first day of Autumn yesterday, so my timing really is on point.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin spice drip cake<\/h3>\n

I have a few other pumpkin spice recipes on my blog already, such as my pumpkin spice cheesecake<\/a>, pumpkin spice cupcakes<\/a> and so on… but I wanted a full on cake. I wanted to create the look that I have been digging for a while now, with an all round beautiful drip cake! My favourite. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pumpkin spice<\/h3>\n

The flavouring of pumpkin spice and I could be wrong here, basically originates from the famous Starbucks drink that is back without fail, every autumn.<\/p>\n

It as far as I am aware doesn’t actually contain any pumpkin, or at least the spices I used don’t. It’s a mixture of ground spices, that almost can taste Christmas like if you get the spices mixed up when making it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mix together ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger and you have a wonderous warming flavour that suits drinks, desserts, and cakes.<\/p>\n

Homemade pumpkin spice mix<\/h3>\n

My homemade pumpkin spice mix is so easy, and the recipe can be found at the bottom of this page. <\/p>\n

The main flavouring you get is cinnamon, but the other spices, particularly the ground cloves and allspice, bring it back out of Christmas and into Autumn nicely. Because it is basically a lot of dried spices, you really don’t need too much.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can always use less or more than I specify, but that’s entirely up to you. This is basically just a bigger version of my Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes.<\/a> I have sort of increased it and multiplied it to make it a real showstopper! <\/p>\n

Decoration<\/h3>\n

The cute little pumpkin sprinkles on top are from Wilton<\/a>, and I am ever so slightly in love with them. I wanted to use the usual pumpkin marshmallows that I have used in the past, as I just couldn’t resist them. The marshmallows are from Asda! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I didn’t feel like the cake needed toooo much decoration as it looks quite showstopper like as it is, however… any drip cake is quite the showstopper. The contrast of a dark chocolate<\/a> drip, with the bright orange pumpkins, is beautiful!<\/p>\n

Smaller version<\/h3>\n

There are notes in the recipe on how to make a smaller version of this cake, but I love a three layer cake as you can tell. I always find the height of a three layer cake is pretty much the minimum needed for a drip cake, otherwise the drip won’t have far enough to go! <\/p>\n

Recipe update<\/h3>\n

This recipe post has been updated in October 2019, as I wasn’t a fan of the original images at all. The original cake sponges were the same, and the decoration the same as my Nutella cake – you need about 2\/3 of the buttercream for the original if you fancied making it that way!<\/p>\n

I hope you all love this autumnal cake as much as I do!! Enjoy!! X<\/p>\n
