Easy Pumpkin Pie Dump Cake
Added on Dec 04, 2025
1 can (15 0z.) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 box Spice Cake Mix
1 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking pan with nonstick cooking spray then lightly flour the pan. In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon until well-combined. The pumpkin mixture will be very wet. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the dry cake mix on top of pumpkin mixture. Now take melted butter and drizzle all over the top. Bake for about 55-60 minutes. It may seem not finished in the middle when done, but that's okay because it will continue to set up as it cools. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream. Be sure to refrigerate any leftovers. Enjoy!

If you can't find Spice Cake Mix, use yellow cake mix and add
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice or ground cloves (or an 1/8 teaspoon of each)
Combine well before adding all other ingredients

Gingerbread Cookies
Added on Dec 03, 2025
3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup molasses unsulphured
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon if you like a strong cinnamon flavor, increase to 2 tsp total
1/2 tsp dried ground ginger if you like a strong ginger flavor, increase to 1-2 tsp total
Optional: granulated sugar to roll cookie dough balls in

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
First, mix together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Next, add egg and molasses and mix well.
In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger, stirring to combine.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Form or scoop balls of dough that are slightly smaller than a golf ball. If desired, roll dough balls in granulated sugar after forming. Place them on a baking sheet approximately 2” to 3” apart to allow room for cookies to spread.
Finally, bake for 10-12 minutes, remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on baking for approximately ten minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
