FAQS
Can I use all purpose flour instead of the cake flour? Yes, you can. I have made muffins with both flours and they are both delicious. What I love about baking with the cake flour is that the finished product has a softer crumb. It is not as dense as it would be when using all purpose flour.
What can I use if I do not have pumpkin spice? You can use mixed spice. Some mixed spice has a similar combination of spices just like pumpkin spice, while others may include a few additional spices.
STORAGE TIPS
If you are storing these with the frosting, it will need to be kept in the fridge in an airtight container. It will last for up to a week. If you choose to do it without the frosting, you can keep it in the fridge or you can leave it at room temperature for up to 4 days.
