Amarula Pumpkin Spice Cake
Amarula Pumpkin Spice Cake Rocks!

This is one of those recipes that you need three bowls… one for the dry, one for the wet ingredients and one for the frosting.

  • Wet ingredients bowl:

1/2 cup Amarula Liquor
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 can 15 ounce solid pumpkin
4 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend

( my blend is 6 parts, cinnamon; 2 parts each of nutmeg, allspice and cloves; 1 part each of mace, cardamon and ginger)

  • Dry ingredients bowl:

2 – 2 1/4 cups bread flour ( start with 2 then check)
2 cups fine sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda


  • Basic process:

gradually blend the dry into the larger bowl with the wet ingredients


  • Baking:

350 degrees for around an hour


  • Frosting:

3 ounces cream cheese, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 cups powdered sugar. (Or as needed to be firm bu pourable)
ADD enough Amarula Liquor to make the frosting thick but pourable ( around 1/4 cup)

top off with sliced Almonds

  • RESULTS:

I made this for my wife’s 60th birthday and all 130 pounds of her had three huge servings… when she thought she’d just have a ‘taste.’

  • Bon Appetite!
