Pumpkin Spice Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Apr 12, 2007 - I baked this cake, as well as a red velvet cake with white chocolate and chocolate buttercream frosting for a friend's birthday... unfortunately I got to taste neither of them, although I heard they were quite tasty (I got a MONETARY offer to bake the red velvet for another party... of course I wouldn't charge for it!) SO, we start out with these ingredients: 1/2 cup butter, room temp 1 1/4 cup brown sugar splenda/ brown sugar 2 eggs 1 cup pumpkin pie filling 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups cake flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 cup buttermilk (Preheat to 350) As for most recipes, you just mix the flour together with the other dry ingredients, excluding the brown sugar. - 18 Comments

Rum Pumpkin Cupcakes

Oct 26, 2009 - Every weekend I have this little obsession of browsing through the recipes of Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Martha Stewart & Sunset magazines in search for a little inspiration or a recipe that is unique and fun. This Sunday I had a hankering for something Fall, Halloween themed and Sassy. Something that I could easily ship to work to feed my coworkers and something that I could add a personal twist too. - 2 Comments
