Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake

November 18, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake | Dreamery Events

Who am I do totally impose all on your Thanksgiving menu planning with a cake recipe less than a week before the big holiday?? I know, what kind of event planner and entertainer am I, but dessert is often the last thing to think about or often times is left up for guests to potluck and bring. And even more of a gasp moment, but some don’t even care for pie, seriously I don’t think we could be friends yet still I made you cake that’s so perfectly Thanksgiving! It’s pumpkin of course, because if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be turkey day worthy. Secondly, it’s inspired by one of autumn’s most iconic item, yes the oh-so-basic, oh so why-do-people-still-freak-over-these, Pumpkin Spice Latte!

This pumpkin spice latte cake is not a fluffy, light and airy kind of cake, it’s a dense moist pumpkin cake with the texture of gingerbread and all the intense and comforting flavors of autumn spices and espresso. I would imagine that this is what a pumpkin latte should taste like. I’ll admit I was all aboard, and driving the pumpkin spice latte train in the beginning years, but then after a few cups I couldn’t stand that slight artificial taste, so my brief season of the PSL ended, and I couldn’t imagine to put this autumn flavoring in my dark black roast again.

But I do love those cozy invigorating spicy flavors in my coffee, and will brew my morning cup with a sprinkling of homemade pumpkin spice blend.

So how does this relate to cake, well ever since I saw this recipe last year, it’s been on my list of things to make. I have no idea why I chose to test out this recipe during the week before all the crazy Thanksgiving baking, in the midst of quality tasting control, and event planning tasks that are piling up, I still managed to add creating this cake onto my schedule.

The reason for me to take the time to bake this cake was because my aunt and uncle had arrived from Portugal to spend a month and the holidays with us, and naturally I had to welcome them back with a little something sweet.

It’s also one of those cakes that taste better the following day, when all the flavors have had more time to do their thing and develop together into that full bodied taste of a pumpkin spice latte. 

If you’re lucky and have leftover of this cake on Thanksgiving, then it will make a perfect Friday breakfast slathered with some cranberry sauce and warm mug of coffee!

Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩 Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩

If there was a “party theme” that best describes me, I think it would be this.  A delicate explosion of psychedelic pastel blooms & pretty vintage tea cups, colorful retro glasses happily scattered amongst the disco ball reflections — ready to be filled w. the spirit you fancy best to sip & dance on the grass from sunset to moonrise to sunrise, as if at a Grand Ball, Woodstock or Studio54 …

This tablescape best showcases my love of all things 70’s; an era whose soul inspires me & is much of what I love … where delicate & wild flowers are flower power!

Then there’s the romantic at heart; who loves all things intricate vintage details, lush gardens, gilded affairs & tea parties brimming w. classical melodies.

I quite love this Spring styling & you can read/see more of it on the Blog now✨ … follow link in bio
