  • Add a glaze for extra flavor and shine: A simple glaze made with powdered sugar and milk will add a touch of sweetness and shine to the cake.
  • Experiment with different spices: In addition to the traditional pumpkin pie spices, you can also try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice to the batter.
