I love these mini cakes to give as gifts during the holidays. They are so moist and the frosting is so creamy, you will want to make them every year! I use a mini loaf pan, but you can use a standard size loaf pan if you want to make a larger cake.
Mini Pumpkin Pound Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 1/2 cup all Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup c. Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt
- 3 Egg Whites
- 1 cup Canned Pumpkin
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a loaf pan, set aside. Sift the flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, and nutmeg, into a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, yogurt, and egg whites. Whisk thoroughly until blended. Stir in the pumpkin. Add the dry ingredients to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until completely incorporated.
- Pour into regular loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Or bake for only 25 minutes if you choose to use mini pans as I did. Allow to cool on a wire rack before frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
1/4 cup butter
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
1 pound confectioners' sugar, about 3 3/4 cups before sifting
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Sprinkling of cinnamon
Using a mixer, combine all ingredients except for cinnamon and blend well. You can spread on top of cooled cake or pipe on your frosting as I have done in the photo. Follow with a light sprinkling of cinnamon.
