    Pumpkin, pecan, and carrot cake? Cream cheese icing? Did the icing work? Many questions lol

    This wasn’t a single recipe, but a combination of several. My goal was to recreate a PieCaken I saw online, but at a more manageable 6in size.

    Apple Topping

    1 tablespoon butter
    1 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
    1 tablespoons brown sugar
    1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/4 tsp cornstarch

    Add butter, diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon to a medium saucepan. Stir the mixture over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until the apples are very tender.
    Add cornstarch and mix.

    Pumpkin cake

    1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 egg, room temperature
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla

    Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease one 6-inch round cake pan, then line the bottom with parchment paper.
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
    In another large bowl, beat together the pumpkin, oil, brown sugar, sugar, egg, and vanilla.
    Gradually add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture. Mix together until incorporated.
    Transfer the batter to the cake pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes, then invert cake onto cooling rack. Cool completely.

    Pumpkin pie

    For the crust:
    1/2 Pillsbury crust

    For the filling:
    2 oz cream cheese (softened)
    1/2 cup canned pumpkin
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/8 tsp salt
    1 egg, slightly beaten
    2 Tbsp milk, half & half, or heavy cream
    1 Tbsp butter (melted)
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
    1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer.
    Add the pumpkin and beat until combined.
    Add the sugar and salt, and beat until combined.
    Add the egg mixed with the milk (half-and-half or cream), and 1 tbsp melted butter, and beat until combined.
    Finally, add the vanilla, cinnamon, and pie spice and beat until incorporated.
    Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
    Bake for 60 minutes or until the center is almost set. It will be puffed up but will settle as it cools.
    Place the pie on a wire rack and cool to room temperature.

    Pecan pie

    1/2 Pillsbury crust

    Stir in the pecans.

    This is a requirement for my death bed. Looks unreal 😭😍😍. Happy Cake Day ❤️🥰! Is it bad that I would find a way to manage a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side?

    For a second I read that as “my 10th birthday” and I thought wow, you’re gonna go far, kid.

    “Yeah, yeah, but you bakers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.” 🦖😁

    This is amazing and I want this for my birthday next month
