Pumpkin Maple Bundt Cake

November 12, 2024 by Christina Leave a Comment

A pumpkin maple bundt cake with a slice cut out, both pieces glazed, resting on white plates on a marble countertop.

Sometimes you just want a cake that feels fall. And this pumpkin maple bundt cake is exactly that. It’s got that soft, velvety crumb that just melts, and the maple flavour really shines through, pairs so nicely with the pumpkin. The secret to getting that depth of flavour is actually in lightly toasting the cinnamon and allspice before they […]

These Pumpkin Oreo Muffins are an absolute dream! Soft, pumpkin-spiced muffins with chunks of Oreo cookies baked right in. We’re also topping each muffin with a big Oreo half […]

Carrot Sheet Cake

A fork punctures a square slice of carrot cake topped with thick cream cheese frosting and walnuts on a white plate.

If you’re looking for a really good carrot cake, this is it. This carrot sheet cake is super moist, has a tender crumb and a creamy, tangy cream cheese frosting on top, finished with toasted pecans. A big part of what makes this cake so good is the sour cream in the batter, which keeps it incredibly […]
