Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake with Coffee Buttercream

Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake with Coffee Buttercream

This is all of your coffee shop dreams come true! Pumpkin and warm spices are fantastic together.

I use garam masala – a ground spice blend originating from India. The spices included in the blend varies by maker but generally you will find corriander, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, bay leaf and cloves.  Here’s an affiliate link to Organic Garam Masala on Amazon. If you can’t locate garam masala, feel free to use pumpkin pie spice
