Question 1

What is Snickerdoodle Cake?

Accepted Answer

Snickerdoodles are a popular cinnamon sugar cookie. Today's snickerdoodle-inspired recipe incorporates swirls of cinnamon and brown sugar into moist pumpkin cake layers. The combination is heavenly. (Check out our Pumpkin Prailine Cake and Pumpkin Spice Cakes as well!)

Question 2

Can Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cake Layers be Frozen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, just as with most of our cake recipes (from Pumpkin Bundt Cake to Almond Cake, Carrot Cake and more, this cake freezes perfectly. In fact, when wrapped properly, cakes will stay fresh in the freezer for up to three months.

Wrap each cake layer in plastic wrap, followed by foil, and pop into the freezer. (For added stability, you can place each layer on a foil wrapped cake board if you'd like.)

When it is time to thaw the cake layers, place the wrapped cakes on the kitchen counter. Remove the wrapping after 30-45 minutes, and continue to thaw to desired amount. (Some bakers like to decorate their cakes when the layers are partially frozen, as they are less fragile.)

Question 3

Should this Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cake be Refrigerated?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because of the cream cheese frosting, this cake should be refrigerated. However, for best flavor and texture, remove the cake from the refrigerator a couple of hours before serving. This will allow the cake and frosting to warm and soften.
