PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE CAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour a 10 to 12-cup bundt pan.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Continue cooking until the foam in the pan has subsided and the butter is fragrant and nut brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice and salt in a large bowl.
• Beat together the browned butter, sugars and eggs with an electric mixer until well combined and thick. Beat in 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla and the pumpkin. Fold in the flour mixture and the crystallized ginger.
• Scrape into the pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted close to the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool in the pan, then run a metal spatula around the edge and center of the pan and invert the cake onto a serving platter.
• Stir together the confectioners' sugar, heavy cream and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cake.

Steps:

• For the muffins: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously grease 12 muffin tins. Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Cut in the butter with two knives or a pastry blender until it is fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, egg, and vanilla. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the flour mixture. Add the raisins, if using. Fold gently until the mixture is just combined.  Pour into the greased muffin tin- the batter hardly ever fills all twelve unless you keep it down to 1/2 full.  For the topping- in a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle all over the top of each unbaked muffin. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove and allow to cool completely. Ice with cream cheese frosting, if desired. For the frosting: Combine the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix all ingredients on high until soft and whipped. Spread onto completely cooled muffins, or place into a large pastry bag with a large star tip and go crazy! Store in the fridge, as icing will soften at room temperature.
