Pumpkin this. Pumpkin that. It’s all anyone is talking about these days, and we are all about it. Forgive us…we can be “basic” sometimes, too. I mean, we jumped on the PSL train just as fast as everyone else (even though we aren’t really a fan of these…gasp!). Anyways…running away from this comment as fast as possible so we don’t have to explain ourselves…okay…byeeee!
I mean, it is fall after all. So, a pumpkin recipe is in order, don’t you think? We thought so, too. We always love to get creative with classic recipes, and put our spin on it. So, this is where today’s post shines. We have a delicious family favorite Pumpkin Cake recipe that has been a crowd-pleaser for years. It makes the entire house smell like fall. ☺️ A full can of pumpkin puree is used in this cake, which we love. Plus, dark brown sugar, 4 large eggs and vegetable oil create a moist crumb. Add in the perfect combination of seasonal spices and this cake goes straight to the top of the fall recipe charts! Then, top it off with the perfect compliment to any spice cake, which is…you guessed it…cream cheese frosting. It’s absolute perfection.
With this family favorite recipe, we decided to reintroduce it in a new and exciting way. That’s where “bite-sized” quickly came to mind. That’s right…Pumpkin Cake Balls! Seriously y’all….making any favorite cake combination into cake ball form is so easy. We cannot tell you how many times friends ask us to make and bring cake balls instead of requesting a simple cake. What can we say? People love a bite-sized version of cake! Plus, the recipe makes so many cake balls, you can make them ahead of time and store them in the fridge (Hint: Those exhausting Thanksgiving or Christmas meal rotations!). Simply, box up and bring a couple dozen to each house you have to stop by this holiday season! And, it goes without saying that they make great holiday baked gifts!
So, we suggest you go ahead and skip the pumpkin patches, hay rides, and apple farms (Alright…maybe not skip. Just, make this recipe first). These pumpkin cake balls are the best way to celebrate fall the right way. Grab your pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spices. We have some pumpkin cake balls to make!
