Gooey Pumpkin Cake with Bourbon Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream

Today is Halloween part deux, coming at you in the form of a slice of ooey-gooey spiced pumpkin cake and a big ol’ dollop of bourbon vanilla bean whipped cream.

I mean, is there any better way to do it?

This pumpkin cake also has the double distinction of being Brad’s sister Tara’s favorite birthday cake. Her birthday’s coming up this week, so not only are we celebrating Halloween, but also HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA! I wish gooey pumpkin cake tasted as good with the eyes as it does with the mouf.

Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Pie

categories: Pies and Tarts, Recipes

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic day of family, football, a few too many cocktails, and pumpkin pie.

Mmmm…speaking of pumpkin pie…

I’m sure it will surprise exactly zero people that I am still not tired of pumpkin, particularly in pie form. Even the day after we ran out of pie leftovers, I was still like, “Damn, I could use some pumpkin pie right now.” Is anyone with me on this? I hope so, because this post is for you, fellow never-ending pie enthusiasts. Also, pie is a super awesome Christmas/holiday party dessert. So, conclusion: pumpkin pie is still relevant and I’m going to talk about it.
