Notes
✔️ Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor and texture.
✔️ Do not overmix the batter—this keeps the cake soft and tender.
✔️ Make sure the butter is melted but not hot before mixing it into the batter.
✔️ For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner glaze, add a splash more milk.
