    In this house, we’re a little mixed on the pumpkin spice craze. Mark loves a good pumpkin cake, but I could easily go without this seemingly favorite fall treat. I’m perfectly OK adding pumpkin to other delicious treats, though. Desserts like Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge Bundt Cake. 

    Now, I really had no reason to make a cake this week, other then I hadn’t baked much for a while. The kids have probably been feeling a tad deprived of their after-school treats as I usually sent them to the kitchen for a cup of water or a handful of carrots. The situation needed to be rectified.

    Mark had the day off, so we decided it would be a good day to carve pumpkins after school with the kids and enjoy some Chocolate Pumpkin Fudge Bundt Cake. In Mark’s words “It is good, delicious, delectable, a perfect combination.”

    I originally thought I’d frost the cake with an orange frosting, but as I got going decided a Pumpkin Glaze would enhance the flavors more. Of course, an orange frosting would allow for a fun jack o’lantern fall look, you really ought to try the pumpkin glaze. All it takes are 2 simple ingredients! Some powdered sugar and Torani Pumpkin Pie sauce.

    Weekend Bites #3 Pumpkin Round Up

    Last week I shared an Apple Round Up – this week I thought it would be fun to take a look at all the Pumpkin recipes you shared. Personally, I’m not a big pumpkin fan. It really has to be used just right for me to like it. I want to like it more, I do. While I continue to refine my pumpkin taste buds, I’ll leave the love of pumpkin flavor in this house to Mark. That means I need your inspiration though so I can cook pumpkin stuff for him.
