Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp  Baking Soda
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 3 Eggs, room temperature
  • 15 oz Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet Morsels, more for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Grease two loaf pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 tsp baking powder, and 2 tsp cinnamon.
  3. In a second medium mixing bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 3 room temperature eggs, 1 cup oil, and pumpkin puree.

  5. Divide evenly between 2 prepared loaf pans and top with more chocolate. Bake at 350˚F for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (my oven took 50 min). Let cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes. ENJOY!

Notes

Bake times can vary based on your oven and the color of your baking pan. A darker colored pan will bake faster and a lighter colored pan will take longer to bake.

Starbucks Birthday Cake Pops Recipe

Prep Time 30 minutes
Freeze 20 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings: 12 cake pops
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Cake pop sticks
  • 1 Box of White cake mix
  • 2-4 tbsp white frosting
  • 1 12oz Bag of pink Candy Melts
  • 2 tsp Crisco shortening
  • White Sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Bake the cake according to the package and let cool to room temperature.
  2. Once cool trim away the browned outside layer sides and edges of the cake. Because it tends to be too dry to form the cake pop.
  3. In a large bowl, crumble the cake with your hands. Add 2-4 tbsp of frosting to the crumbled cake and mix with a spatula or your hands.
  4. Using a ice cream scooper, scoop the cake and roll with your hands into balls.
  5. Melt about 1/4 cup of candy melts in a small bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals to avoid overheating the candy.
  6. Dip the tip of each cake pop stick into the melted candy and poke it into to ball about half way through. Place each cake pop onto a baking sheet or plate and transfer to the freezer for about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, melt the rest of the candy in a bowl. Make sure you melt them in 30 second intervals with mixing in between. Once it's melted well, add 2 tsp of shortening and mix well. Then pour the melted candy into a tall narrow cup or measuring glass.
  8. Once the cake pops have been in the freezer for 20 min, dip each into the cup and tilt to the sides slowly to make sure the entire cake pop is covered. Then slowly pull up the cake pop. (Don't swirl the cake pop) Hold the cake pop in one hand and gently tap so that all the extra melted candy drips off.
  9. Sprinkle the pop right away so that the sprinkles stick to it before the candy hardens. Place in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand and let it stand for about an hour. Enjoy!
