Instructions
Active Time: 20 minutes
Full Time: 50 minutes
Heat oven to 350 F. Prep an 8 inch round or square pan with parchment paper and baking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combine Sonora flour, all purpose flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder and spices.
Add in your Drizzle, milk, pumpkins puree, eggs, and lemon juice. Use a whisk to combine until it’s a nice smooth batter, then pour into the cake pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes till golden brown on the edges and baked through the center. Cool 15 minutes, then use an offset spatula to clear sides of cake and turn out onto a platter and cool completely.
Trim off any dome in the cake to create a flat top. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a handheld whisk, beat cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar and lemon zest together till light and fluffy.
Spread cream cheese mousse over top of cooled cake. Add a generous Drizzle all over the top and decorate with edible flowers. Keep in fridge until ready to serve.
