Now that October has arrived, I am all in with creating recipes using pumpkin! Yesterday I shared a delicious healthy pumpkin smoothie recipe. After making that, I was inspired to create a dessert, but I was limited on time. After rummaging through the pantry, I found an Angel food cake mix. I thought it would be fun to put a spin on it and add some pumpkin. The Pumpkin Angel Food Cake turned out delicious! It will be a perfect light dessert option to include at Thanksgiving.

How do I serve the cake?
It can be served warm or cold. Here, I have drizzled the white chocolate over it, but milk or dark chocolate would also be great toppings! A side of vanilla ice cream would also be delicious with this Fall inspired dessert.
