Pumpkin Spice Holiday Cake

I am a fan of Pamela's Products and purchased Spice Cake Mix and customized it to fit my family's needs. Customizing the package ingredients allowed me to make the cake my own.

• I added 1 cup of pumpkin instead of the 1 cup of milk
• I substituted "3 flax seed eggs" for the eggs (RATIO:1 TBSP ground flax seeds to 3 TBSP water ... mix...let rest till a gel like consistency forms)
• I added 1/2 cup gluten free oats

I cooked in a 350 degree oven in an 8x10 baking pan for 55 minutes (or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clear).

Once cool...I made cream cheese frosting by combining the following on a bowl with an immersion blender:

• 1 package of low fat cream cheese (room temperature)
• 1 TBSP vanilla extract
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup butter (room temperature) 

 
To serve: Garnish with fresh berries and nuts or dried fruits and nuts. I chose dried cranberries and walnuts to stick with the holiday theme

OPTION: OMIT the frosting and serve warm with a little butter or jam and fruit/nuts
