My mom and my aunts make the BEST pumpkin rolls around the holidays and I decided to put my own twist on it for Halloween!
Some people, when online shopping, get carried away and buy unnecessary clothes or electronics - for me it's baking supplies. If you haven't figured it out yet, I really like bundt cake pans, so when I found mini ones on Amazon, I had to have them. Once my brain figured out I can turn them into little pumpkins by smooshing two of them together, it was game over.
These guys are the perfect serving and they're sure to impress! I hope you all love these as much as I do!
"Among the many tasty treats created by my favorite baker, I'd have to say the pumpkin rolls are my all time favorite. Sarah and her mom have been making these for me for over 10 years and I can never get enough! Whether they're in a roll or a cute little muffin sandwich, they're one of those treats you try really hard not to eat in one sitting. I love these, mostly because I'm a basic B and love all things pumpkin, but also because they're just really freaking good. You don't even need to wait until Fall to enjoy them because they're delicious all year round!" - L. Decker
Servings: Makes 12
Total Time: 1 hour, 30 min
INGREDIENTS:
CAKE
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup & 2 Tbsp flour
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
FILLING
1 (8oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
DIRECTIONS FOR MINI BUNDTS:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease your mini bundt cake pan that I know you just ordered because you were so excited about this recipe. You can also use cupcake tins for these too I'm sure - they just won't look as pumpkin-y.
2. Beat sugar, pumpkin, and eggs for 3 minutes. Add the rest of the cake ingredients and mix well.
3. Fill your mini bundts (or cupcake tins) about halfway and bake for 12-15 minutes. Let cool completely (this is important because otherwise your frosting will melt everywhere, you'll have a mess, and no one wants that).
4. Make the filling by beating all ingredients together. Let sit in the fridge for at least an hour before sandwiching about a Tbsp of filling between two mini bundts/cupcakes. Add a Rolo or Tootsie Roll on top as a stem to add to the adorableness. Dust with powdered sugar and keep in the fridge until serving.
