Spin the Pin: 2 Ingredient Pumpkin Cake

We are back after Jenn took a trip and Melanie got sick. We made it through safely and are here with another... Spin the Pin!!! This week we took on the 2 Ingredient Pumpkin Cake.  Watch our video below to check out how we put this easy cake together.

This pin was as simple as it sounds and quite delicious.  Here is the original pin from the Noble Pig.

 

  

This recipe was very straight forward.  The ingredients were easy to find and easy to put together.

Here are the two ingredients.  Yes that's it, to make the cake...  It is a little misleading because you do have the ingredients for the glaze.

But that does bring it up to 5 ingredients, but who's counting anyway... I suppose you could just top it with whip cream and then you would have a 3 ingredient cake.  Ours came out delicious.

We made our glaze just a little bit thicker just by adding a bit more powdered sugar. Jenn thinks this cake would be great with a streusel on top to make a great coffee cake.  Melanie would like to have made the glaze with orange juice for an over the top orange flavor.

Anyway way you slice it we cleaned our plates.  Including Melanie...  This isn't a sturdy cake so don't be trying to stack it up and make a wedding cake out of it.  It has a very pudding/custard like texture to it.  We recommend you try it.

We'll see you next week with another fall Pin.  If there is something you would like us to try and film let us know we would love to spin it for you.  Until next week...

SPIIINNN!!!

Moscato Cupcakes

 

Melanie loves her cupcakes, but this is one of her go to cupcake recipes.  She found it on Pinterest on a blog called Brooke Bakes.  It was one of her first pins, and she has been making them ever since.

Peppermint Crispie Treats

 

Over Thanksgiving Melanie made these delicious Peppermint Crispy treats to share with her family.  So we decided to make them for you as well.  Too bad you can’t taste them, he he he…

What to do with Left over Pineapple

As floridians we love to eat our pineapple fresh.  Jenn had this left over pineapple hanging out in her fridge, after a week she decided it was time to give it a spin...

Obessed with Chai

Hi Spin-Sters!

Today is all about our obsession with Chai.  Our drink of the day is Vanilla Chai tea, and we are spinning Chocolate Chai Spice Cupcakes. We have been following The Cupcake Project for a while now and have fallen in love with the cupcakes she made on her first post, Chocolate Chai Spice cupcakes.  We put our on spin on it, as we do here at Cake Spinners, and added an Amaretto Chai Marshmallow icing to give it a little more Oomph, and used a darker chocolate.  

Crafting For The Fair, pt 2

Peanut Blossoms
Hi Spin-Sters!

As stated in the Pumpkin Spice Meringue post, Jenn also made Peanut Blossom cookies for the craft fair that just passed, and they sold out the first day.  She made 3 trays that contained 35 cookies on each. This recipe has been in Jenn's family tradition for more than 30 years. It also is a tradition for other families too, as the recipe comes from the back of the Hershey kisses bag.

Pumpkin Spiced Meringues
Hi Spin-Sters!

Today is all about preparing sweets to sell at a craft fair that benefits the Morocco Shriners this weekend. Since it is fall season, and so close to Thanksgiving, Jenn has decided to make Pumpkin Spiced Meringues and Peanut Blossoms, which will be in the next post. These little puffs of air and sweetness have that flavor that you would associate with the flavors of Thanksgiving. She used her favorite swiss meringue recipe and to give them some flavor, she let 3 whole cloves and 1 stick of cinnamon steep in the egg whites and sugar mixture while it came up to 145* F.
