“Let them eat cake!”
No, but really, everyone should eat cake (at least before everyone’s New Year’s resolutions starts!). After hearing this phrase on the television (this phrase was supposedly spoken by a princess who learned that the peasants had no bread and was rumored to have been Marie Antoinette, but no actual proof exists), I became inspired to bake a cake for our annual Christmas dinner.
Now, although the original recipe called to make homemade frosting (Pumpkin Spice Layer Cake With Caramel and Cream Cheese Frosting), I copped out and bought store-bought frosting because I was in a pinch and used a bundt pan instead of creating multiple layers. My deviations resulted in an easier version; however, although I saved myself time and energy, I am sure that the original version (complete with homemade frosting!) would have been more flavor-filled and fulfilling. But, that adventure will have to be saved for another day – at least everyone could eat cake!
Step 1: Mix Together Liquids
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients Into Liquids
Step 3: Bake and Add Frosting
Now, truly after this recipe, I swear that my healthy New Year’s resolution will actually start (I swear!).
Cheers!
