You must think we’ve lost it by presenting the idea that you should have cake for breakfast, but rest assured with cakes like this – you can’t afford not too! Especially when it's as healthy and as filling as this pumpkin raspberry cake. This entire cake is packed with 22 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber, which will easily keep you full all the way to lunch. Eat half for breakfast and take the other as a snack – if it lasts that long!

Cake for breakfast?! Count me in! I love raspberries and pumpkin puree really reminds me of pumpkin pie! YUM! I bet this would be a delicious treat in the colder months as well! I think this would even be great to have as a dessert in the evenings if you end up craving something sweet like I usually do! It will make you feel like you are eating cake but it will be healthy for you!
My what wonderful flavors. I never in a million years on my own would have come up with the combination of raspberry and pumpkin and cinnamon (if combined, I would have thought to go with chocolate). I think that your combination is most delightful though. Some day I hope that you come up with a cooking or a recipe buidling class because I very much enjoy the recipe ideas that you come up with-creative and healthy!
