It’s finally pumpkin season, and there’s no better way to celebrate the beginning of autumn than with a sweet treat! That’s why I’ve put together a collection of pumpkin cakes, from easy dump-and-go recipes, to more advanced cake rolls. If you want something that’s going to impress your guests, I recommend starting with my Pumpkin Layer Cake recipe, made with two layers and an indulgent cinnamon cream cheese frosting. For something more simple, try my No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake that’s easy to make ahead of time. If you’re like me, and you’ve waited all year to bring warm spices and pumpkin desserts back into the kitchen, then you’re going to want to save this collection and come back to it for the rest of the season!
