"The cake is pumpkiny and moist, with warm flavors of fall from pumpkin pie spice. The flan layer is smooth, creamy and luscious. To top the cake, there is a maple brown butter glaze that is liquid gold! This is the best thanksgiving or Christmas dinner dessert recipe by far. #pumpkincake #thanksgivingdessert #christmasdessert..."
