  4. In a medium bowl, stir pumpkin pie mix with eggs, milk and spice. Set aside.
  5. First pour vanilla batter into MP5, followed by pumpkin mixture over top.
  6. Set temperature to 305°F/150°C and bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cake cool in MP5.
  7. Place a large serving platter over MP5 and carefully invert cake onto platter.
  8. Blend maple syrup with cream cheese until smooth. Spread a layer of frosting on cake and garnish with chocolate shaving or pecan pieces.
Tips: 
  • For quicker preparation, use vanilla cake mix instead.
  • Adding more maple syrup to cream cheese will create a glaze effect versus a frosting effect.
  • Use #1 Cone of the Saladmaster Food Processor for chocolate shavings or pecan pieces.
  • When using pure pumpkin (canned or puree), use 1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice.
