Fall is in the air, this is my favorite season and my favorite time to bake. I love the aromas of cinnamon, baked apples and pumpkin wafting through my house on a crisp, fall day…and this marks my first of many fall recipes. There has been a lot of hype surrounding this Paula Deen recipe, I have read rave reviews for all the variations, but kept putting this one on the back burner until this week. This cake could not be simpler and the results are incredible, if you do not believe me, go read the the almost 2,000 reviews by clicking here. This recipe uses boxed cake mix and a short list of other ingredients…it almost seemed to easy to be worth the hype. Per the instructions, I baked it for 50 minutes and the center still had some jiggle, which in this case is a good thing. The cake is supposed to have some jiggle to impart that ooey gooey texture. This cake is a little sweet, so if shun super sweet desserts, cut back a little…I doubt it will hurt. The Verdict: Those who consumed this cake really enjoyed it…personally, I thought it kind of tasted like…well, pumpkin pie. Next week I will post my favorite pumpkin dessert….stay tuned! Click here for the recipe! Enjoy!

Remember to stop by this coming Tuesday for a fall inspired giveaway!

    Love it! It finally dipped into the 60’s here in SoCal (only for a day, darn it) so of course I ran out to buy pumpkin puree for all these fantastic fall dessert recipes I have been dying to make. These look really good!!!

    There have been a lot of pumpkin desserts coming up lately, but this one really caught my eye. Must be the fact that it uses boxed cake mix — a staple of mine before joining TWD!! I can’t get enough pumpkin this time of year, and I can’t wait to try this!
