It's time! PUMPKIN TIME :) This is my first pumpkin recipe to share for 2017 and it's pretty high up there on the list of favorite pumpkin cake recipes I've made. My sister-in-law, Emma, tagged me in a Facebook post when she found the recipe and wanted me to make it for family dinner, so I did! It tastes like a classic pumpkin cake, but that cream cheese swirl is out of this world. It really makes the cake.

The last pumpkin recipe that I shared last year was this Pumpkin Cake Roll and it was one of my favorite cakes of all-time. If you don't want to eat cake for breakfast, these Pumpkin Cream Cheese Swirl Muffins from The Novice Chef are a great alternative.
