Deliciously Easy Recipes
Are you on the naughty or nice list this year? You may find out if you make this Christmas coal — see who sneaks it into your stocking!
The tradition of coal being placed in a stocking for those on the naughty list is a story referred to each holiday season. Before the Elf on the Shelf, we had to consider the possibility of pieces of coal in our stockings on Christmas morning from St. Nicholas.
The holiday season can be filled with tons of complicated or time-consuming desserts — while they’re often worth the effort, sometimes I want something sweet and simple. This Christmas puppy chow is an easy recipe full of sweet and salty flavor and crunchy texture.
Some people call it reindeer food or Christmas muddy buddies (or even Christmas crack), and there are plenty of other names for this sweet treat. All I call it is delicious!
Puppy chow is typically just a sweet snack mix but this recipe is the Christmas version. Cereal pieces, pretzels, and a chocolate peanut butter mixture are covered with confectioner’s sugar and mixed with fun Christmas-colored candy — it’s the perfect treat for the holidays.

Easy pineapple upside-down cake packed with buttery and vanilla flavors and tender crumb and crowned with canned pineapple slices and maraschino cherries.
With upside-down cakes we work in the opposite direction: we lay down the toppings first, and cover it with cake batter, but once the cake is baked, we flip it. And the bottom becomes the top of the cake – easy, stunning, genius!

Every year the holiday season makes our to-do list grow exponentially day by day. We need simple gifts for school teachers and parents, colleagues, and loads of snacks for kids and visiting family. Our hands are full!
View postChristmas time is synonymous with cookie time, right? There’s no time of year when I get more excited to get in the kitchen and bake some cookies and these cornflake Christmas cornflake wreaths are one of my favorites to make.
With simple ingredients you can grab at the grocery store, this recipe couldn’t be more convenient and yet it’s such a spectacular presentation on any holiday table.
While I love to make pies and cakes during the holidays, I prefer handheld treats for holiday parties and gatherings. These peppermint Oreo balls and the perfect festive no-bake treat for any event.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up some of the prettiest peppermint truffles that will be a beautiful addition to your holiday dessert table. Their bright white coating speckled with red and white peppermint candy pieces will put anyone in the holiday spirit.
This delicious honey bun cake starts with a box of yellow cake mix, has moist soft crumb, sweet and crunchy cinnamon, and brown sugar filling, and is covered with sweet vanilla glaze. It is a twist on the classic honey bun swirls.
How many honey buns can you eat at once? It should be a competition somewhere on the planet. Oh wait…it is! There is even a World Guinness Record.
View postWhen the holiday season sets in, I love settling down in front of some Christmas movies from the tried-and-true classics and the comedies to the popular animated ones like my favorite, How The Grinch Stole Christmas. That’s the inspiration behind these Grinch Christmas cookies.
So many of the top Christmas tales revolve around the evolution of compassion during the holidays but few are as explicit as Dr. Seuss’ tale in which the Grinch’s heart grew three sizes. The animation of his growing bright red heart against the backdrop of his bright green fur can’t help but stick in your head!
When the holiday season arrives I am all about baking beautiful desserts to serve at home or take to parties. These cranberry cupcakes are always one the prettiest desserts on my holiday spread.
They look delicate and simple with their white cake and buttercream icing but the sparkly cranberry on top makes them special. Plus, when you bite into them there’s the surprise of more cranberry flavor as well as white chocolatey goodness.
While they can be consumed any time of year, gingersnap cookies are my favorite to make in the fall — and well into the holiday season. The crisp autumnal weather calls for a cookie with a similar snap that brings all of the warmth to the table — this gingersnap recipe does just that.
The impending onset of the holiday season always calls for whipping up a chocolate chip cookie recipe, of course. But I can’t help but be in love with the idea of having these snappy cookies with their rich molasses flavor as soon as the leaves start to fall all the way through until the final winter frost.
These easy caramel apple pretzel bites with peanuts and chocolate are tasty treats for parties, as an after-school snack, or as gifts, and come together in no time. They are a fun way to make apple season into a simple treat.
If you love caramel apples but would rather not go through the hassle, I have cool apple treats for you. These pretzel bites combine salty crunchy pretzels with sweet caramel candy, apple pieces, nuts, and melted chocolate.

Best of all, it’s easy to make! So gather your ingredients and get started. You’ll be rewarded with a scrumptious dessert that’s sure to impress. cheers!
If you’re a fan of bourbon, you’re going to love this cake. It’s got a delicious, rich flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet vanilla and bourbon glaze.
We love to serve this cake at all our fall celebrations. I especially love it in place of the pie when we all gather for Thanksgiving.
Absolutely! The best part of bundt cakes is their versatility. You can substitute the glaze in this recipe with your favorite flavor, homemade or otherwise.
If you want to swap out the bourbon with an extract flavor of your choosing, that will work too.
This cake can be made in a 13×9 baking pan. Bake for 20-25 then do a toothpick test to check for doneness.
This cake can also be made into cupcakes. Fill each well 3/4 of the way full and bake for 15-20 then do the toothpick test to check for doneness.
Yes, this cake can be stored at room temperature. Just make sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container.
I like to keep the cake in the refrigerator so it will last a bit longer. Then when serving, I microwave it for a few seconds so it is nice and warm.
Depending on the size of your slices, this cake will yield approximately 12-16 slices. That being said – in our house, it is “go BIG or go home”. So we usually split the cake between the 5 of us for 2 nights.
You should make sure that you grease your pan really well with a flour and grease/cooking-spray mixture to keep the cake from sticking. The ridges in the pan are most susceptible to this and they are the most delicate parts of the cake.
Make sure that you really work your grease into these crevices for the best results. I recommend using Baker’s Release.
Bakers release is a combination of oil, flour, and shortening that makes releasing cakes and other baked goods almost effortless.
To make Bakers Release – it is as simple as 1,1 & 1.
Mix the ingredients together – whisking well. Store in an airtight container in the pantry or refrigerator. When ready to use, dip a pastry brush into the mixture and spread it over the cake pan.
Place this cake in an airtight container or wrap it with plastic wrap. It can be stored for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
Here are a few options for recipes to serve with this classic cake…
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should avoid eating rum cake. This cake is also not suitable for children.
Yes, you can freeze this cake. Be sure to wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Mexican Wedding Cookies are a deliciously sweet cookie made with crushed pecans, coated in sugar, with a tender, buttery crumble.
Mexican wedding cookies are a delicious, buttery treat that is perfect for any occasion! These cookies are easy to make and always disappear quickly.
You’ll love the sweet, nutty flavor of these cookies – they’re irresistible!
When the holidays come around we love to get in the kitchen and bake. Often times we stick to our classic cookie favorites and then add in a handful of new recipes.
Most of the time we find really good, classic recipes that have been forgotten about in the bottom of grandma’s old recipe tin. These Mexican Wedding Cookies are one of those that we are so happy to have found.
While this recipe is a spin off of our super easy snowball cookies – with the end result being quite similar, this recipe is as classic as it gets.
I know you’ll love them as much as we do. You holiday cookie platter won’t be complete with out them.
These are sugar-coated butter cookies that are popular in Mexico, as well as the southwestern United States. The cookies usually have a pecan or walnut inside, and are sometimes dipped in chocolate. They are also known as “polvorones” or “tuiles.”
There is some debate over the origin of these cookies. Some say they originated in Spain, while others believe they came from Mexico. It is most likely that they were brought to Mexico by Spanish settlers, and then adopted by the locals.
The name “Mexican wedding cookie” is a bit of a misnomer, as these cookies are not traditionally served at weddings in Mexico. In fact, they are more commonly served at Christmas time.
However, the name likely comes from the fact that these cookies are often served at weddings in the southwestern United States.
Yes, you can make these cookies ahead of time. I recommend that you make the dough up until the chilling point. Then keep the rolled dough in the fridge until you are ready to make them.
Then bake and roll in the sugar. I do not recommend refrigerating the baked and sugar-coated cookies. The sugar does not do well in the cool and damp climate of the refrigerator.
Polvorones are a type of Mexican wedding cookie that is made with flour, sugar, butter, and nuts. They are usually round or oval in shape and have a sandy texture.
The easiest way is to place in a large airtight container & store at room temperature. I like a large plastic bowl with a lid or a zip-top bag works great too.
Yes – just leave them out. The dough will be more moist, but taste more like a sugar cookie.
Yes – chill the dough before baking. If you want to make our similar recipe for snowball cookies – that one does not require chilling the dough.
The dough needs to be chilled of 20 minutes – unlike some recipes that need to be chilled for several hours or even overnight. Chill the dough in the fridge, wash up the dishes and before you know it, it is ready to be baked.

This cake is a fun and easy twist on the classic fruitcake. Made with a mix of your favorite fruits, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
Fruit Cocktail Cake is a cake made with fruit cocktail as the main ingredient. It is a popular dessert in the Philippines and is often served at parties and celebrations.
The cake is moist and dense, with the strong flavor of a fruit cocktail. It is usually frosted with cream cheese or whipped cream frosting, and decorated with fruit and nuts.
The most popular fruits used in fruit cocktail cake are pineapples, grapes, and cherries. However, you can really use any type of fruit that you like.
Fruit cocktail cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. However, it is best served chilled or at room temperature.
No, fruit cocktail cake does not need to be refrigerated. However, it will last longer if it is stored in the fridge
Yes – this cake can be frozen. Make sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and then keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Then, to thaw the cake you will want to place it in the refrigerator the day before you’d like to serve it.
You will need the following tools to make this recipe –
This cake is a quick and easy cake to make. It should take you no more than 30 minutes to prepare the ingredients and bake the cake. The hardest part is waiting for the cooling time. But you want to make sure that you do that.
Cooling the cake overnight is really important. Not only does it allow the flavors to marry, but it helps to set the frosting before you cut and serve the cake. Because the frosting is made more like a sauce when it is warm, it needs to be set before it can be served.
Here are a few options for recipes to serve with this classic cake…
Yes, you can double this cake recipe. However, you will want to bake the cakes in 9×13 pans side-by-side. Please don’t try to double up the cake batter into one larger pan. This will not only change the baking time but how the cake rises and the final consistency.

The holidays just got a little sweeter with these easy Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars. They’re the perfect dessert for a family gathering or potluck, and they’re so easy to make!
Looking for a delicious dessert that is both easy to make and sure to impress? These Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars are the perfect solution!
They combine two classic desserts into one tasty treat, and thanks to a few shortcuts, they come together in no time. So invite your friends over for coffee or tea and wow them with these amazing bars.
If you’re looking for the perfect Thanksgiving dessert, look no further than these pecan pie cheesecake bars! They are absolutely delicious and sure to please everyone at your table.
Plus, they’re easy to make so you can spend more time enjoying your holiday. Give them a try this year – you won’t be disappointed!
Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days.
This recipe will still work with low-fat cream cheese. But keep in mind that the creamy cheesecake texture comes from the fat. So the final recipe probably won’t have the same consistency if you are substituting ingredients.
I have not made this recipe by subbing in a no-bake cheesecake filling. So I can’t say definitively that it would work, but I can’t see why not.
I do have this no-bake pecan pie cheesecake that could be used – but it may or may not be too much filling for this crust recipe. It may just be easier to make that recipe instead of trying to adapt this one.
Yes, you can freeze Pecan Pie Cheesecake Bars. To do so, wrap them tightly in cling wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. They will keep in the freezer for up to two months. When you are ready to eat them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator.
Of course. Just combine 1-1/2 cups finely ground cookie crumbs with the other crumb ingredients and toss with a fork until all the crumbs are moist.
Then press firmly into the bottom of the pan. These are great with an Oreo crust and also with a Vanilla Wafer crust.
You can replace the corn syrup with 1/2 cup of sugar dissolved in 2 tbsp of water.
Pecan pie is a dessert that typically contains a filling of corn syrup or molasses, sugar, eggs, butter, and chopped pecans. The pie is usually baked in a pie dish, and the filling may also include vanilla extract.
If your bars are sticking to the pan, it is likely because you did not grease the pan or parchment well enough. Be sure to grease the pan well with butter so that the bars will not stick.
Yes, you can make the graham cracker crust without a food processor. To do so, you will need to finely crush the graham crackers by hand. You can also use a rolling pin to crush the crackers.
Once they are finely crushed, mix them with the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Then press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

This is a great dessert to make 1-2 days ahead of time. The chocolate dip can be kept in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Pumpkin pound cake is the perfect autumn dessert. The rich, spiced flavors of pumpkin are complemented by the moist, buttery texture of a pound cake.
This recipe is easy to follow and results in a delicious cake that everyone will love. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect end to your meal.
Is there anything more comforting than a warm slice of pumpkin pound cake on a cool autumn day? This recipe is perfect for those days when you want something sweet, but don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
The best part is that it only takes a short time to make! So go ahead and indulge yourself with this delicious cake. You deserve it!
Pound cake is a type of cake that has been around for centuries. The name comes from the fact that the original recipe called for a pound each of flour, sugar, and eggs. Over time, the recipe has evolved to include different flavors and ingredients, but the basic concept remains the same.
Pound cake is a popular choice for many occasions because it is relatively easy to make and can be customized to suit any taste. There are endless possibilities when it comes to flavors and toppings, so everyone can find a pound cake that they will enjoy.
If you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make cake, pound cake is a great option. Whether you are looking for a classic recipe or something with a twist, there is sure to be a pound cake that will suit your needs.
-Room temperature (covered) for up to five days
-Refrigerated for up to one week
-Freeze for up to three months
You will need sifted powdered confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth. Add more milk or icing sugar to make a thicker or thinner glaze. Finally, add a handful of chopped nuts for texture (optional).
I have found that these inexpensive metal loaf pans work perfectly for this recipe. You can also use glass if that is what you have on hand.
I understand that you might not keep pumpkin pie spice on hand – or maybe you used so much last season that you may have run out. No problem – just blend the following ingredients together and you will have your own homemade pumpkin pie spice.
Pumpkin Pie Mix is a mixture of pumpkin puree, sweetener and spices combined that is used to make pumpkin pie. Pumpkin Puree is a pureed form of pumpkin and can be used in recipes that call for canned pumpkin. It does not contain any other ingredients, it is just pureed pumpkin.
The recipe calls for pumpkin puree because it does not contain all the additional ingredients in the pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling can also be used in this recipe, however, most people think that it makes the dessert too sweet. I prefer to stick to puree.
There are many different pumpkin pound cake topping ideas that you can use to make your cake even more delicious. Here are some of the most popular ones:
If you love pound cake as we do – you don’t want to miss these other flavors here!
Here are a few options for recipes to serve with this pumpkin pound cake…
Yes, this cake does fine when it is frozen. Be sure to cover it or wrap it tightly in a freezer-safe wrap and thaw completely before serving. Typically I try to keep the loaf whole if I plan to freeze so that the inside doesn’t dry out. But if you wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, and then place it in a zip-top bag, a cut loaf should do fine in the freezer.
You can make this pumpkin cake with either canned pumpkin or cooked fresh pumpkin. Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling because they are not the same thing.
I stock up on cans of Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin puree at the end of every season, so I can start making glorious pumpkin everything in August and September.
But keep in mind that if you are using fresh pumpkin puree, you want to make sure it has been drained WELL so that it doesn’t add too much liquid to the batter for this pound cake.

Biscoff Cupcakes are made with a Biscoff cookie spread and a fluffy, soft cake that is light and airy, then topped with cookie butter buttercream frosting.
Looking for a quick and easy cupcake recipe that still makes a statement? These biscoff cupcakes are the perfect dessert. With just a few ingredients, you can make these decadent treats in no time.
Plus, the flavor of biscoff is sure to please everyone. So what are you waiting for? Start baking!
These cupcakes are amazing! If you have never had Biscoff before, it is a European spread made from crushed biscuits (similar to cookies) and spices.
It’s like a cross between peanut butter and cinnamon sugar. The flavor is hard to describe, but it’s really good!
Anyway, I was in the mood for something sweet the other day and decided to make these cupcakes. Let me tell you, they did not disappoint! They are SO good! And they’re pretty easy to make too.
So if you’re looking for a new cupcake recipe to try out, I would definitely recommend these Biscoff Cupcakes!
Biscoff is a cookie butter spread made from ground, spiced biscuits by the Lotus brand. It is called Speculoos in some European countries.
Biscoff cookies were first created in Belgium in the early 1800s. The cookies were originally made by bakers who used leftover bread dough to make small, hard biscuits that were perfect for dunking in coffee.
The Lotus brand was created in 1932, and the company began selling Biscoff cookies in jars as a way to keep the cookies fresh longer. In 2007, Lotus introduced a cookie butter spread made from Biscoff cookies, and it quickly became a popular pantry staple.
Today, you can find Biscoff cookie butter spread in most major supermarkets as well as online. If you want to make your own Biscoff cupcakes at home, check out this recipe!
You can store these cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days. And you can even pop them into the fridge if you make them ahead of time then take them out about 2 hours before serving.
Sometimes it can be difficult to find Biscoff cookies in the store. But don’t fret – you can make your own. Check out my recipe for Homemade Biscoff Cookies. You can bake the cookies, then turn them into cookie butter for this recipe. They pair perfectly with morning coffee or just about anything.
Yes, any speculoos cookie butter will do! Lotus cookie butter is a spread made from Lotus cookies. It is similar to peanut butter but has a unique flavor that is perfect for baking.
Belgian brown sugar gives Biscoff a caramel flavor.
If you want to make these cupcakes ahead of time, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just be sure to thaw them out before you frost and serve them.
The Biscoff buttercream can be made a couple of days in advance, then stored covered in an airtight container in the fridge. When you’re ready to frost the cupcakes, let the buttercream soften at room temperature and use a mixer to re-mix it. You can also add in a splash of milk to soften it up.
You can certainly forgo coring the cupcakes and adding the cookie butter to the center. Or you can change up the cupcake flavor and leave out the cookie butter in the cupcake batter, try using just vanilla or plain chocolate cupcake instead.
Yes – you can make this into a cake. Just follow the baking directions for your desired cake size on the back of the box only using the batter alterations you see here.
Bake until the center springs back when gently pressed. Cool completely before removing them from the pans. Then you can decorate with the Biscoff buttercream frosting.

Oreo Balls are a sweet and simple dessert perfect for any occasion. If you’re looking for a quick and easy dessert that will impress your friends, look no further than Oreo Balls.
This simple recipe only requires three ingredients and takes just minutes to make. Plus, who can resist a sweet and creamy ball of chocolate and Oreos?
Whether you’re hosting a party or just need a sweet snack for movie night, these Oreo Balls are sure to satisfy your cravings.
Do you love Oreos? Who doesn’t, right? Well, have you ever made Oreo Balls? They are one of my favorite things to make!
You just mix together some Oreos and cream cheese, roll them into balls, and dip them in melted chocolate. They are so good! And they’re really easy to make too. If you’re looking for a quick and easy dessert idea, try making Oreo Balls!
I can tell you that when I make these for the neighbors each year for the holidays, they always send me a message about how much they enjoy them. Then about a day later they are messaging me asking if I would make them some more.
These are always a hit – no matter how you decorate them. They are so simple to make and CRAZY GOOD!
There are three different types of Oreo cookie balls – snowmen, Christmas Tree, and easier dipping. Each type of Oreo cookie ball has a different decoration – white chocolate for snowmen, white chocolate and decorating gels for Christmas Trees, and cinnamon candy for easier dipping.
If you’re looking to keep your Oreo cookie balls fresh, the best way to do so is by storing them in the refrigerator. This will help to keep them from drying out or becoming stale.
You can also freeze them for longer-term storage. Just be sure to use an airtight container so they don’t get freezer burn.
We used white chocolate candy melts for this recipe. But you can also use almond bark, Candi Quik, melting wafers, or even high-quality white chocolate. If you use white chocolate chips, you may need to add a tablespoon or two of coconut oil to get it to melt smoothly without seizing up.
Oreo balls can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months. This is a great way to store them if you want to have them on hand for a quick snack or dessert.
You can also freeze them in different shapes and sizes, which can be fun if you are looking for a variety of ways to enjoy them. Oreo balls can also be frozen in different flavors, such as chocolate or peanut butter.
And finally, they can also be frozen in different colors, which can add some visual interest to your Oreo ball experience.
If you want to get really festive with your Oreo balls, you can dip them in white chocolate and add red and green sprinkles, or even crushed candy canes. You could also add holiday candies for a Christmassy touch.
*if using double-stuffed Oreos – reduce the cream cheese by half.
According to our nutrition calculator in the recipe card, one Oreo cookie ball has 71 calories and 6g net carbohydrates. However, I came up with slightly different results when I entered this into my Carb Manager app. So please do your own calculations if you are watching your macros closely.
It is imperative that the mixture is chilled for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour & that the finished truffles stay chilled. It is important to keep the cream cheese chilled for food safety.
Yes -you sure can. These Oreo truffles can be made with any type of Oreo cookie you prefer.
If you want to make Oreo balls ahead of time, the best way to do it is to prepare the filling and then freeze it until you’re ready to use it. This will help keep the balls from drying out.
To store Oreo balls, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Oreo cookie balls will keep for 3 weeks in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer. Oreo cookie balls should always be stored in a covered container.
This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in fact sprinkles.
I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labeled as sprinkles.
This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough or when placed in the refrigerator, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.
When your chocolate wafers become chunky rather than creamy, it is said that the chocolate is seized. This is typically due to overheating or contact with water or steam.
In the first case, the chocolate is just burning from excess heat, but in the second case, there is a negative reaction between the chocolate (which is waxy and has many oils that are hydrophobic, or “water-fearing”) and the water, causing the components of the chocolate to separate.
Be sure to refer to the package directions when melting chocolate to prevent this from happening.
If you want to make Oreo balls, you’ll need a few things. First, you’ll need a package of Oreos. Next, you’ll need some cream cheese. And finally, you’ll need a Wilton Dipping tool. (affiliate link to it below)
The Wilton Dipping tool is a handy tool that makes it easy to dip candy or cookie truffles into chocolate. It’s part of a three-piece set that also includes a fork and a spoon. With this set, you can easily dip your Oreo balls into melted chocolate without making a mess.
Once your Oreo balls are dipped in chocolate, you can let them cool on a sheet of wax paper. Then, enjoy!
Chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts are the best type of chocolate to use for dipping. Shortening or coconut oil can be added to make the chocolate chips easier to dip. A small amount of shortening or coconut oil is best when melting the chocolate chips in the microwave.

This moist and tender Pumpkin Spice Cake is topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. It’s perfect for fall baking and holiday parties.
Fall is in the air and that means one thing: pumpkin spice season! This year, ditch the same old pumpkin pie and try your hand at this delicious pumpkin spice cake.
It’s moist, flavorful, and perfect for any autumn gathering. Best of all, it’s easy to make – just follow these simple steps and you’ll be ready to go!
Is it really fall if you don’t have a pumpkin spice cake in your house? I think not. This is my go-to recipe for the season. It’s easy to make and always turns out delicious.
Plus, the best part is that you can customize it however you want! So whether you’re looking for something classic or something a little more adventurous, this recipe has you covered. I know you’ll love it!
Pumpkin spice cake is a dessert that has been around for decades. It was first created in the 1940s by Chef James Beard who used pumpkin pie spices to create a cake.
This dessert became popular in the 1990s when Starbucks introduced it as a seasonal beverage option. They also packaged their pumpkin spice latte mix to sell at grocery stores and supermarkets.
The pumpkin spice cake is a type of dessert that is very popular during the Fall and Winter seasons. The popularity of this dessert has been steadily increasing over time, with many people indulging in it as early as September, or even August.
There are many reasons why pumpkin spice cake is so popular, but one of the most significant reasons is that it tastes great.
You can make this recipe as cupcakes! Simply follow the same oven temperature, fill the cupcake wrappers 2/3 full, and bake 18-21 minutes or until baked through. OR you can check out my pumpkin spice cupcakes recipe. You’ll get the same great flavor and texture in a convenient cupcake form!
If you want to make a double batch of this pumpkin spice cake, simply double all of the ingredients. The bake time will remain the same as long as you divide the ingredients into two cake pans and bake them side-by-side in the oven.
Yes, pumpkin spice cake can be made in advance and stored in the fridge. You’ll need to let it cool completely before serving.
Again, this is a matter of personal preference. The cream cheese frosting will need to be kept chilled in between servings.
We think this cake is best served at room temperature, but it will be just fine if served chilled too. Simply remove it from the fridge about an hour before you plan to serve.
If you want to try making this pumpkin spice cake recipe using homemade puree, it’s important to know that the results may not be exactly the same. This is because store-bought puree is usually more watery than homemade puree.
As a result, your cake may not be as moist and fluffy. However, if you’re willing to experiment, we recommend giving it a try! Who knows, you might just end up with a delicious pumpkin spice cake that’s even better than the original.
If you’re making this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour substitute and not almond flour. The pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting is incredibly moist and is slightly denser than regular cake, so I think the batter could be made gluten-free.
You can make this pumpkin spice cake with either canned pumpkin or cooked fresh pumpkin. Make sure you are using pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie filling because they are not the same thing.
I stock up on cans of Libby’s 100% pure pumpkin puree at the end of every season, so I can start making glorious pumpkin everything in August and September.
Pumpkin Pie Spice is made of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. You can use it to make your own pumpkin pie spice by mixing these spices together.
Pumpkin Pie Mix is a mixture of pumpkin puree, sweetener and spices combined that is used to make pumpkin pie. Pumpkin Puree is a pureed form of pumpkin and can be used in recipes that call for canned pumpkin. It does not contain any other ingredients, it is just pureed pumpkin.
The recipe calls for pumpkin puree because it does not contain all the additional ingredients in the pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling can also be used in this recipe, however, most people think that it makes the dessert too sweet. I prefer to stick to puree.
I understand that you might not keep pumpkin pie spice on hand – or maybe you used so much last season that you may have run out. No problem – just blend the following ingredients together and you will have your own homemade pumpkin pie spice.
Yes, this cake does fine when it is frozen. Be sure to cover it or wrap it tightly in a freezer-safe wrap and thaw completely before serving. I like to add the topping once served. I also like to portion it out into individual servings before freezing so we can just grab one or two to thaw at a time.
Here are a few options for recipes to serve with this pumpkin spice cake…

Pumpkin Pudding Shots are so delicious with an extra layer of cheesecake pudding. Sweet, spicy, and boozy, they are a perfect fall dessert!
If you’re like me, then you love anything pumpkin flavored during the fall season. These pumpkin pudding shots are the perfect dessert to bring to your next party!
They’re easy to make and taste delicious. Plus, they’ll definitely impress your friends. So give them a try today!
You’re going to love these delicious pumpkin pudding shots! They’re the perfect drink/treat for fall parties and gatherings. Ummm- can you imagine how awesome these will be for Thanksgiving?? YES!
And best of all, they’re super easy and quick to make. So gather your friends and get ready to say cheers to autumn!
Pumpkin pudding shots are a type of alcohol-infused dessert that combines the flavors of pumpkin pie and pudding with a shot of your favorite liquor. They are perfect for fall parties and celebrations, and can be made ahead of time so you can enjoy them all season long!
Pudding shots, like the ones pictured here, are usually prepared with one cup of alcohol for the entire batch. After that, it’s divided among the 12 shots — they aren’t very strong.
It comes out to less than 1 ounce per shot, I believe. Increasing the booze could cause the pudding to set improperly.
Pudding shots can be served at room temperature, but they are more commonly served cold. This is because pudding is generally a cold dessert. When alcohol is added to the pudding, it can make the pudding set improperly if it’s not kept cold.
Serve with spoons; unlike Jell-O shots, it’s difficult to just run your tongue over the edge of a pudding shot in order to consume the entire thing. It is also pudding, so you won’t be able to remove it from the glass in one piece because it doesn’t hold its shape.
Keep these pudding shots refrigerated until ready to serve. BUT – do not refrigerate these for longer than a day before serving. They will start to dry out and crack down the sides. These are best served the same day they’re made.
If you use higher-proof alcohol (80-proof or higher), the stronger alcohol content may prevent the pudding from setting.
You might have miscalculated your amounts or your proportion of pudding to alcohol, which will keep the pudding from setting. If that’s the case, add 8 ounces of whipped cream or cream topping before chilling it.
Yes, you can make these in a non-alcoholic version. Just prepare the pudding as directed on the box and then layer it into the glasses just as you would with this version. Top with garnish before serving.
You can find shot glasses at most party stores or online. If you are making a large batch of pumpkin pudding shots, you may want to invest in a plastic shot glass set so you don’t have to worry about breaking any glasses. I have some linked here in the list below.

If your rice krispie treats are hard, it is likely because they were not cooked long enough or at a high enough temperature. Make sure to cook the butter and marshmallows together until they are fully melted before adding the cereal. Also, be sure to press the mixture into the pan firmly so that it sets properly.
This can also happen if you don’t use fresh ingredients. If you use stale marshmallows, you end up with stale treats. See the notes below for tips and tricks.

These treats are best at room temperature. So I like to keep them in the pan that I press them into and then just pop the airtight lid on them.

This Easy Sweet Potato Pie is a classic Thanksgiving dessert you don’t want to miss. It’s so simple to make, and your guests will love it!
Are you looking for an easy Thanksgiving dessert recipe? Look no further than this sweet potato pie recipe! It’s simple to make and tastes delicious.
Plus, it’s perfect for serving a crowd. So go ahead and add this delicious pie to your Thanksgiving menu!
Is there anything more comforting than a sweet potato pie? This version is easy to make, and the results are delicious. The sweet potatoes give the pie a rich flavor and a lovely texture.
You really can’t go wrong with this easy version of the classic pie that is served by millions each and every holiday season. I know you’ll love this as much as we do.
Sweet Potato Pie is a dessert that is usually made during the fall and winter months. It is made with sweet potatoes, milk, sugar, butter, eggs, and spices.
Some people also add raisins, nuts, or marshmallows to their pies. This pie is usually served with whipped cream or ice cream.
Boil sweet potatoes in their skin. Cut a small X in the top of each potato, then place them in a large pot of boiling water. Boil for 15 minutes, or until tender.
Baking: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork, then place on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, or until tender.
Steaming: Place sweet potatoes in a steamer over boiling water. Cover and steam for 20 minutes, or until tender.
Microwaving: Pierce sweet potatoes several times with a fork, then place them on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 5 minutes, or until tender
The pie is done when the filling is set and doesn’t jiggle when you shake the pan. You can also insert a knife into the center of the pie; if it comes out clean, the pie is done.
Testing with a toothpick: Another way to check for doneness is to insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, with no filling clinging to it, the pie is done.
Resting the pie: Once the pie is out of the oven, allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 3-4 hours before serving. This gives the filling time to set up and prevents you from burning your mouth on hot filling.
Prevention tips:
Yes – if you would like to make your own pie crust – I have a super Easy Pie Crust recipe that I know you will love. It will work great with this sweet potato pie recipe.
The sweet potato is a starchy, sweet-tasting root vegetable that originated in South America. It was introduced to the Caribbean and then to North America by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. The sweet potato was called “yam” by the native Caribbeans, which led to confusion about the true yam (a completely different species of root vegetable).
The first recorded recipe for sweet potato pie was published in 1764, making it one of the oldest pies in American history. This pie became a popular dish in the American South because sweet potatoes were plentiful and relatively inexpensive. It is often served during holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Best drinks
When it comes to taste, sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie are both delicious. However, sweet potato pie has a slight edge over pumpkin pie. Sweet potato pie is generally more flavorful and has a richer taste.
Texture:
In terms of texture, sweet potato pie is again superior to pumpkin pie. Sweet potato pies have a smooth, creamy texture that is simply irresistible. Pumpkin pies, on the other hand, are just a bit different and sometimes aren’t quite as creamy.
Nutrition:
Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients such as vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber. Pumpkin also contains some nutrients but not as much as sweet potatoes. So if you’re looking for a healthier option, then sweet potato pie is the way to go.
Canned sweet potatoes or fresh sweet potatoes? The answer may surprise you!
When it comes to canned vs. fresh sweet potatoes, there are pros and cons to each. Canned sweet potatoes are usually cheaper and more convenient, but they may not be as nutritious as fresh sweet potatoes. Fresh sweet potatoes, on the other hand, are more expensive and require more prep work, but they tend to be more flavorful and nutritious.
So, which is better? Ultimately, the decision comes down to personal preference. If you’re looking for the most flavor and nutrition, go with fresh sweet potatoes. If you’re looking for convenience and affordability, go with canned sweet potatoes.
Yes, you can make this pie ahead of time. Just bake the pie and then store it in the fridge for up to four days. When you’re ready to serve, simply take it out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. Then, add your toppings of choice and enjoy!
When reheating frozen sweet potato pie, thaw it overnight in the fridge and then reheat it in a 350F oven for about 15 minutes.
Thawing tips:
The quality of your frozen sweet potato pie will depend on how well it was wrapped originally. If properly wrapped, it should still taste fresh 3 months after freezing. However, if you notice any off flavors or smells, or if the crust is soggy or crumbly, it’s best to discard the pie.”
Whipped cream is the perfect topping for sweet potato pie because it is light and fluffy, and it compliments the sweetness of the pie perfectly.
Pecans:
Pecans are a classic topping for sweet potato pie, and for good reason! They add a delicious crunch to the pie, and their flavor goes well with the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
Marshmallows:
Marshmallows are another great topping for sweet potato pie. They add a fun and festive touch to the pie, and their sweetness complements the sweetness of the sweet potatoes perfectly.
When it comes to serving sweet potato pie, there are a few different ways you can go about it. One classic way is to serve the pie with a scoop of ice cream on top. This is a great option if you want to really indulge in the sweetness of the pie.
Serve with whipped cream:
Another delicious way to enjoy sweet potato pie is by topping it with whipped cream. This option is perfect if you want to enjoy the creamy texture of the sweet potato filling without all the sweetness.

View postLooking for a delicious and festive dessert to make for your next party? Look no further than Rum Cake! This decadent cake is easy to make and is always a hit with guests. Plus, the rum flavor makes it perfect for celebrating special occasions.
Rum Cake is a popular dessert that can be made in many different ways. This recipe is for a classic, old-fashioned rum cake (with a twist to make it easy) that is sure to please everyone.
It’s simple to make and doesn’t require any special ingredients. So, gather your supplies and get started on this delicious cake!
Would you look at that glaze??!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Rum Cake is amazing! It’s so moist and flavorful, and the rum flavor is just perfect.
I’ve made this cake almost every holiday season, and it’s always a hit. If you’re looking for an impressive dessert that’s also easy to make, then this is the recipe for you. Give it a try! You won’t be disappointed.
Rum cake is a cake that contains rum. The alcohol content of the rum may vary, based on the proof you choose. Some recipes also call for the addition of rum extract, which adds to the flavor of the cake without increasing the alcohol content.
There are many different ways to make this type of cake. Some recipes call for the cake to be soaked in rum, while others call for rum to be added to the cake batter. Rum can also be used as a glaze or frosting for the cake.
No matter what recipe you use, this cake is sure to be a hit with anyone who loves rum. So if you’re looking for a boozy treat, be sure to give rum cake a try.
Rum cake is typically very moist and dense. The rum adds a unique flavor to the cake that many people enjoy.
This cake is safe to eat as long as you are not allergic to rum. The alcohol content in the cake is low, so it is not likely to cause any problems for most people.
However, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should avoid eating rum cake. This cake is also not suitable for children.
You should make sure that you grease your pan really well with a flour and grease/cooking-spray mixture to keep the cake from sticking. The ridges in the pan are most susceptible to this and they are the most delicate parts of the cake.
Make sure that you really work your grease into these crevices for the best results.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The leftovers can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Be sure to wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing.
There are many different types of rum available, so it can be difficult to choose the best one for this cake. If you choose to use a dark rum, we suggest Gosling’s Black Seal Rum. However, we used a Bacardi light rum for this recipe.
Yes, you can make this cake in a different type of pan. However, you may need to adjust the baking time. If you are using a glass or metal pan, the cake will likely bake faster than if you were using a dark-colored pan. Be sure to check on the cake frequently to avoid overbaking.
Use the baking suggestions on the cake mix box as a guide. Cakes baked in a round or rectangular single-layer pan typically bake about 40% faster than bundt cake pans do.
The cool thing about this cake is how you can change it up based on your flavor preference. While the recipe we have shown here is for a yellow or golden butter cake mix – theoretically you could make this cake with any of the following flavor combinations.
Yes, you can make this cake from scratch. However, it is often easier to use a box mix – which is why we did that here. If you are using a box mix, be sure to follow the directions we have here because we are modifying the mix before baking.
Yes, you can freeze this cake. Be sure to wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing. It can be frozen for up to 2 months.
No, this is not typically keto. You would have to use a keto-friendly cake mix and pudding mix for the cake itself. But you would still have to deal with the sugar content in the alcohol. You could use a rum extract instead.
As for the glaze, you could use a sugar substitute and rum extract for that too. So – it is possible if you found the right ingredients to supplement these.
You could also make a keto-friendly yellow cake from scratch and then add the extract and alternate glaze.
No. You only need to add the dry mix to the bowl. Upon adding to the other ingredients and baking, the mix will take on more of a pudding consistency.
Yes, this cake can be left out. However, it is best to store it in an airtight container at room temperature. This cake can last for up to 3 days when stored properly.
No, the cake will not get you drunk. The alcohol content in the cake is typically very low. However, if you consume too much of the cake, you may not feel well. If this happens, drink a glass of water and eat something to help absorb the alcohol.
Yes, this cake can be refrigerated. However, it is best to store it in an airtight container at room temperature. The cake can last for up to 3 days when stored properly.
Bakers release is a combination of oil, flour, and shortening that makes releasing cakes and other baked goods almost effortless.
To make Bakers Release – it is as simple as 1,1 & 1.
Mix the ingredients together – whisking well. Store in an airtight container in the pantry or refrigerator. When ready to use, dip a pastry brush into the mixture and spread it over the cake pan.

These Owl Cupcakes are the cutest way to celebrate fall. Perfect for classroom parties, neighbor gifts, Thanksgiving desserts, and more.
Are you looking for a fun cupcake recipe that is perfect for a kids’ party or classroom treat? These owl cupcakes are sure to please everyone!
They are easy to make and the kids will love them! Plus, they are so adorable! Enjoy!
Owls somehow just signify fall. Not sure what it is – but you see owl-themed things everywhere this time of year. Cute owl-themed cupcakes have been around for a very long time and are perfect for the season.
My friend created her version here for me – twisting on the already popular treat. I have to say, they are so adorable and simple to make.
They make great gifts and are perfect for all your seasonal parties.
Sure! A box cake mix works well for these cupcakes. Not only does it make the whole process so quick and easy, but the box mixes are pretty tasty. You can use a regular white or vanilla box cake mix and stir in the crushed cookies.
OR – I do have this super delicious homemade chocolate cupcake recipe that I really encourage you to try. They are moist and fluffy and oh so delicious! These cupcakes would be great with a chocolate cupcake base.
As with all cupcakes, the most important thing is to keep them in an airtight container. Now – because of the frosting I recommend that the cupcakes be refrigerated.
Keep in mind that Oreo cookies tend to get a little soft when they are refrigerated. Also – M&M’s tend to bleed a bit when refrigerated.
So – bake and frost the cupcakes and then refrigerate them. Make the other components of the owl faces and keep them in an airtight container at room temperature. Assemble right before serving.
The frosted cupcakes will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
The main reason why cupcakes do not rise is because of the ingredients.
When measuring the flour, make sure to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Do not pack the flour into the cup.
Also, check the expiration date on the leavening agent (baking powder or baking soda) to make sure it is still active.
Lastly, make sure your eggs are at room temperature before adding them to the batter. Room temperature eggs mix more easily and produce a lighter cupcake.
If you follow these tips, your cupcakes should rise beautifully!
The key to moist, fluffy cupcakes is to create air bubbles in the batter that expand during baking. You’ll wind up with dense, heavy cupcakes if you overmix your batter. Always use a low speed when mixing and stop just before all of the components are combined.
There are a few reasons why your cupcakes might be dry.
One possibility is that you overbaked them. To prevent this, insert a toothpick into the center of the cupcake. If it comes out clean, they’re done. If there’s batter on the toothpick, they need to bake for a few minutes longer.
Another reason for dry cupcakes is using old or expired ingredients. Make sure to check the expiration dates on your baking powder, baking soda, and eggs before using them.
Finally, make sure you’re not overmixing the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
By following these tips, you’ll be sure to make moist and delicious cupcakes.
The cupcakes can be made without the crushed cookies mixed in. If you can find another type of cookie or ingredient that would be comparable for making the eyes – then you could omit the Oreos there too. If you come up with style-changes, I’d love to hear about them.
Chocolate frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. When you’re ready to use it again, just let it come to room temperature and give it a good stir. It might be a little thicker than when you first made it, but it will still be delicious!
You bet! If you have leftover frosting, place it in a zip-top bag, label it with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to use it again, thaw it in the refrigerator the night before. Then give it a good whip before piping or spreading on your dessert.

Mummy Brownies are a delicious, rich, and decadent dessert that’s perfect for any Halloween celebration. Super fun for the kids!
Mummy brownies are a Halloween classic. These spooky treats are easy to make and perfect for a party. Serve them with a glass of milk – they’re sure to be a hit!
You won’t believe just how easy these can be to make – completely customizable and the kiddos just love how cute they are! Definitely a must for your Halloween.
Who doesn’t love brownies? And who doesn’t love to be a little bit spooky around Halloween? Combine the two and you’ve got mummy brownies!
These are just regular brownies, but with some fun added decorations to make them look like mummies. They’re the perfect treat for your next Halloween party!
Mummy brownies are the perfect spooky treat for your next Halloween party! They’re easy to make and everyone will love them.
These brownies are chocolatey and chewy, with a deliciously creamy frosting. And who can miss those spooky candy eyeballs too? So irresistible, you’ll want to make them year-round!
No one really knows where the idea for making Mummy Brownies was created. But they are pretty clever. You can’t go wrong with an easy-to-make treat like this one.
The rich flavor of the fudgy brownies and the cute frosting decorations for the holiday sets these brownies apart from a regular brownie. These are great for kids but would be fun for a holiday office party or gifts for the neighbors too.
Mummy Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Yes – if you don’t want to have to run to the store – you can try making these with my super simple and delicious One-Bowl brownie recipe. Or try this treat with my EASY Nutella brownies. They only need 4-ingredients and everyone loves them.
Oh yes – of course. If a box mix is your thing – you can absolutely make these little treats with that. Using a box mix gives you an opportunity to make these as shown – with thick brownies OR you can make the mix in the 9×13 pan and create more little mummies.
Yes! Homemade frosting is fine for these brownies. I recommend my Best Bakery Buttercream Frosting or you can try this Cream Cheese Frosting recipe. You might want to cut the recipes in half or even make just 1/4 of the recipe.
You don’t need much frosting to make these brownies. But if you make the whole batch of frosting – you can always use it to make these super cute Ghost cupcakes.

Yes – using melted white chocolate or candy melts will work out just fine.
Yes, you can freeze these brownies. Place them in a freezer-safe container and they will keep for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature before eating. Make sure to freeze in a single layer so the frosting doesn’t get messed up by stacking them.
But – the eyes don’t do well in a damp environment. SOOOOO – I recommend storing them without the eyes and adding them right before serving.
When you insert a toothpick and a few crumbs remain on it, the brownies are done. If the toothpick comes out clean, they were overcooked.
Yes – of course! I’m all about the mix-ins – so I will always encourage you to do that whenever possible. That is one of the bonuses of making your own brownies – either with a box mix or homemade. You get to decide what’s inside and can always make them a little bit better.
