Pumpkin Mousse Caramel Cake

Kürbismousse-Karamell-Torte

Does this pumpkin mousse caramel cake count as cream cheese cake? I don’t believe so as it definitely tastes more like mousse than anything and you may even serve it as an icebox cake. But be it as it may, I find this cake delicious, if you like pumpkin and caramel, this cake is for you. We will use a Biscoff cookie crust and these already give a nice crunchy and caramel flavor. The filling contains a lot of pumkin and then we are going to top if all off with additional caramel.

Pumpkin Layer Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream for Thanksgiving

Pumpkin Layer Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream for Thanksgiving

Moist and delicious pumpkin layer cake with a buttercream that actually contains brown butter and cream cheese, that’s what I am introducing today. Reason for introducing this cake here ist two-fold. Reason #1 has to do with a German blog event I hosted. It had all to do with pumpkin recipes. For that reason I made these delicious pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting and also this vegan pumpkin pasta with only two ingredients.

Vegan Pumpkin Pasta from Two Ingredients

Vegane Kürbis-Pasta aus zwei Zutaten

Guys, I find it amazing how easy it is to make this two-ingredient vegan pumpkin pasta! Seriously, even if you are not into making your own pasta, I can definitely recommend making this one. You don’t even need a pasta machine, the dough can be rolled out by hand with a rolling pin, cut it into long stripes, and voila, you’ve got yourself delicious tagliatelle! I tried both options, tagliatelle by hand and also using the pasta machine to make spaghetti, both work wonderfully. As stated, this is vegan pumpkin pasta as it only contains pumpkin puree and all-purpose flour as its two ingredients. I find that so awesome!

Pumpkin Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Rezept für Kürbis-Cookies mit Frischkäse-Topping

Are you in for a pumpkin cookie with cream cheese frosting? Then I might have something for you. This is a cake-like pumpkin cookie that is very soft and has a not too sweet cream cheese frosting serving as a nice contrast. You may not think much about it, but here in Germany pumpkin is usually not served in sweet goods, you will find tons of savory recipes, but sweet ones not so much. I sometimes wonder why. There is a reason why pumpkin is very popular in North America in any baked goods, it has a sweet kind of flavor and carries a lot of fall flavor, makes sense to me. So let’s give these cookies a try!

The Fluffiest Pumpkin Waffles

Fluffige Kürbiswaffeln

Have you ever eaten pumpkin waffles? I hadn’t, I know, shame on me. But this year I somehow got into the pumpkin haze. So I cecked out Pinterest and found a lot of different recipes. Finally I encountered the recipe below and bam, I was hooked. These pumpkin waffles are super fluffy, I love that they are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and tall and thick. I think they can be served either for breakfast, but also as a nice dessert.

Cute Pumpkin Cookies in Pumpkin Shape

Kürbis-Plätzchen in Kürbisform

I made cute pumpkin cookies in pumpkin shape! Reason was for Pinterest apparently telling me to make pumpkin cookies, all I saw was something pumpkin. So I obeyed and thought, why not make some pumpkin sugar cookies? For this I turned to my favorite sugar cookie recipe. Because, you know, IF you make a cookie shaped like a pumpkin, it sure should contain pumpkin. At least in my opinion. And then I also wanted some fall spices, like cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. So I threw in this spice mix. It actually is very similar to the one of my beloved pumpkin spice latte. And in the end I got these cute little cookies.

My Eight Favorite Fall Recipes

Have I mentioned before that I love fall? It is my favorite season. I just love everything, the cozy scent of cinnamon, warm and snuggly blankets, hot chocolate, the golden sunlight, there is very little I don’t like about fall. I even enjoy the rain, even if I have to wear a rain jacket and rain pants when I cycle to work and feel the raindrops hitting my face. It’s like an old friend I am happy to say hi to. For that reason it is time that I give you a list of my favorite fall recipes. Oh, there is so much you can bake with, apples, plums, cinnamon, pumpkin, I just love fall ingredients! As today is the first day of fall, I officially wanted to do a collection of fall recipes. I hope you find something to your liking!

#1 Pumpkin roll in the shape of a pumpkin

This is vegan yeast dough that is pretty easy to prepare and is definitely going to be a show-stopper. I brought these pumpkin rolls to a party once and I was asked to pass on the recipe several times.

2. Cute owl cupcakes

I made a mistake the first time I made these. I gave these cute little owls names. And then it was so hard to actually bite into one of these big eyes… Really bad idea. You will need Oreos and M&Ms, it’s really simple to make.

Pumpkin Roll with Apple Buttercream

Kürbisbiskuitrolle mit Apfelcreme

Pumpkin roll with apple buttercream? Pumpkin doesn’t play a very important role in baking here in Germany. At least until recently. No, we have not yet discovered its use for cheesecake and the like.

Can I confess something? I have never been a big fan of pumpkin pie. I know, kill me know. But I just don’t like the flavor that much. I have tried my share of pumpkin pies, but still. That’s why I have ignored pumpkin mainly in baking.

But then I met my hubby and hubby is a big fan of pumpkin pie. So I started looking for good recipes. This recipe is currently his favorite. If you like pumpkin pie, try it, it is great. But as stated, I didn’t get excited. Because I don’t like such a dominant pumpkin flavor.
