What would you prefer? Cake is lovely, deep and moist.....pumpkin with spices:)If you were to ice it, what would you use?I feel it might be better as a loaf, but hate the thought of eating so much butter (really, there is no other way!) Any ideas?

How about a cream cheese icing as used on carrot cakes?

That sounds good. Maybe with orange rind added?

if it is anything like my pumpkin loaves, I wouldn't ice it at all.

yep, cream cheese icing is the best with pumpkin pie... mmmm
sis inlaw is american & when they came over to visit last, she made one & oh so devine, well she sent me tins of the stuff & I still have 2 left, hesitant to use them but guess I better lolz.
so guessing it would be the same.
oh they use cream cheese icing in the recipe for a swiss roll type pumpkin slice & it is devine, but just as nice with the pie itself hehe.

As a compromise, I sometimes make a thin butter icing and drizzle it from a spoon in zigzags across a cake.That way, it looks decorative and special but you're not over-indulging in either butter OR cream cheese!
