I need a pumpkin break!

Published 23 days ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader!

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE pumpkin.

But last night I ate a slice of pumpkin bread standing at the counter and realized halfway through that I’d reached max pumpkin saturation (known as MPS, from this moment forward).

So this week, I’m taking a wee break. Join me, if you please...

​Fudgy Chocolate Brownie Meringue Cake. It has a dense, fudgy center and a crisp meringue top, with no frosting required. It looks like more work than it is, which is the best kind of dessert to bring somewhere. This cake DEMANDS a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

​Decadent Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake. It’s a Mounds bar in cake form. It’s deeply chocolatey and very moist, and the coconut keeps it from feeling heavy. A thin slice with coffee in the afternoon hits just right.

​Rich & Moist Chocolate Sheet Cake. This is the one I make most. One pan, a thick layer of frosting, and it keeps well for days. If you only bake one thing this week, make this.

Pumpkin will be there for us next week. In the meantime, hit reply and tell me which of these is your favorite!

Enjoy!

P.S. If you have a favorite DisplacedHousewife recipe, I hope you’ll take a sec to rate it 🌟 and leave a comment. Ratings help other bakers find my recipes. Thank you!

It’s now! Your new fall obsession is this Pumpkin Bread with the perfect apple cider doughnut-inspired top. Picture this: a tall, tender loaf with a perfectly cracked, sugar-spiced top.

Hi Reader! Yes, it's still 10,000 degrees here, but I know many of you are actually experiencing FALL WEATHER! And that demands apples, spices and pumpkin...not necessarily in that order. This past weekend I made a cinnamon raisin sourdough boule, and it was so incredibly magical. I've had it every morning, toasted, smeared with butter and finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, because that's how we do. It wasn't a perfect loaf. The cinnamon brown sugar swirl broke through the exterior...
