    In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, olive oil, spices and sea salt. Whisk until combined and smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until center of cake is set, about 25-35 minutes. Set aside to cool before glazing.

  3. 3

    For the glaze, combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add more water if the glaze is thick and not pourable.
