4 eggs, beaten
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
15 ounce can pumpkin
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Instructions

Tint frosting with orange food coloring. Drizzle over cakes. Tint remaining frosting green. Frost an ice cream cone with green frosting and invert for the stem. Sprinkle with edible glitter.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
