Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix light brown sugar, then add melted butter, pumpkin, sour cream, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Create a well in the dry ingredients and fold in the pumpkin mixture until just combined.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. While baking, whip the salted butter until creamy, then gradually add honey, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until fluffy.
