MAPLE GLAZED PUMPKIN CINNAMON CAKE

To tell the truth I have always been more of an Apple everything and anything Fall Recipe kind of person.  Pumpkin was always meh!

But lately from making my own Homemade Pumpkin Puree to remaking and reshooting my Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce (still to be posted) and of course this delicious Maple Glazed Pumpkin Cinnamon Cake I almost changed my mind.
