Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cinnamon until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, and maple syrup and mix until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  6. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Make the maple glaze by whisking together the sifted powdered sugar and maple syrup until smooth.
  8. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing and serving.
