. . . Easy Pumpkin Spice Pound Cake . . .

I realize that I just shared a recipe for Lemon Pound Cake but I had to share this one because it was so good! It's the exact same recipe but I used a different flavor cake mix, pudding mix and soda and it's amazeballs! You will for sure want to add this to your list of things to make this week as we are all preparing for Thanksgiving. This would be the perfect dessert to have around for your guests that are staying for the long weekend.

I love pumpkin anything and this recipe I concocted didn't disappoint. My son isn't as big of a fan of pumpkin but he took one bite and said "Mom, this is the most awesome cake ever!". Maybe he's a little dramatic but that is a glowing review from him since he never holds back if he doesn't like something. So, I guess I can call this recipe "Marcus Approved Pumpkin Spice Pound Cake".

You will need:

1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix

1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pumpkin spice pudding mix

3/4 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

1 cup cola flavored carbonated beverage (I used generic Coke)

Powdered Sugar Glaze:

2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

a couple shakes of pumpkin pie spice

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tablespoon milk

Gather up your ingredients.

I used Pumpkin Spice Pudding mix and the only place I have found it so far is at WalMart. They may have it other places but wanted to let you know where I have gotten it. Also the Spice Cake mix seems to be just made by Duncan Hines but there may be other brands.

Mix your pudding mix and cake mix together before adding liquid.

Add your oil and mix then add eggs one at a time

Add your cola flavored soda to the mix and stir until combined. It will get really foamy but just keep mixing until it smoothes out.

Pour your cake mix into a greased and floured bundt cake pan.

Bake at 325 degrees for about 45 to 50 minutes

Let the cake cool in the pan for awhile then flip out onto a platter for serving

Mix up your Pumpkin flavored glaze

Drizzle glaze over the entire cake

Let the glaze sit for a bit until it started to set and then cut and serve to your guests

So moist and yummy! Enjoy ♥

. . . Easy Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe . . .

I was sitting in the doctor's office not long ago and picked up the All Recipes magazine and found this amazing recipe! It almost made the doctor's visit worth it...almost.

I can't wait for you to try this recipe out because you are going to love it! I love how simple it is too which is always a big bonus in my opinion. I am excited to try this with other flavors too. I was thinking about trying it with chocolate pudding and a cola and also was thinking of orange soda with vanilla pudding. I would think any flavor pudding/soda would be wonderful so if you try another combo let me know.

You will need:

Cake:

1 package lemon cake mix

1 package instant lemon pudding mix

3/4 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

1 cup lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage (I used generic “Sprite”)

Powdered Sugar Glaze:

2 Tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

1/2 teaspoon grate lemon peel

1 Cup powdered sugar

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven to 325 degrees

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix to blend well. Then stir in your oil and beat in eggs one at a time.

Stir in your Lemon-Lime Soda until blended

Pour into the greased and floured bundt pan

Bake at 325 for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. *You won't want to over bake the cake.

Allow the cake to cool and then flip it onto a plate making sure you have enough of a "lip" so that your powdered sugar glaze won't spill off the plate.

To make the powdered sugar glaze you will just mix all the ingredients together until you get a liquid. If you think it's too thick then add a little more liquid and if it's too runny add a little more powdered sugar.

Pour the glaze over the entire cake making sure it's well covered. Let it sit to dry a bit and then serve it up and Enjoy! ♥

. . . Diet Coke Chocolate Cake . . .

I promise that you will love this quick and simple recipe! It has to be one of the easiest desserts you can possibly make.

It is a can of Diet Coke or any Diet Cola and a Chocolate Cake Mix from any brand. I used Devil's Food for a bit richer chocolate flavor but you can use plain chocolate.

I know many people like to make soda cakes for dieting but I sort of ruined that when I frosted this one with Chocolate Fudge Frosting but it was so delicious!! You might remember that I made the Orange Cream Cupcakes this same way--Diet Sunkist and a White Cake Mix.

• • •

• Gather your 2 ingredients for the cake and frosting if you choose to use it

• Combine soda and cake mix together and mix well

• Pour combined cake mix into a coated cake pan or baking dish. I use a little cooking spray and a bit of flour and then pour in cake mix

• Bake the cake according to box instructions. I found that mine was done a little bit before the box said it should be

• I poked holes in my cake and put frosting over the top of each hole while the cake was hot. It melted and then filled in the holes to add extra "gooiness"

• Once the cake is completely cooled then frost the entire cake with the frosting of your choice
