Spooky Black Cocoa Cupcakes

The details

I love black cocoa. And I love Halloween. In an effort to bust out as many Halloween-themed recipes as possible this year (without being tacky, and while being very pregnant and just plain old tired), I bring you these Spooky Black Cocoa Cupcakes. They’re dark in color and flavor, delicious, rich, and obviously on-theme and ready for your fun Halloween decor/sprinkles of choice. This cake is a tweaked version of the my favorite chocolate cake recipe, as is the buttercream. The best part? Unlike a lot of recipes, this one is black the all-natural way, with no food coloring to stain your teeth. Cause that is not cute. Enjoy!

Apple Spice Cake with Brown Butter Frosting

The details

The people have spoken and the people want apple cinnamon content for Fall. I hear you! Apple Spice Cake with Brown Butter Frosting here. I mean, who doesn’t love a cake reminiscent of both Apple Jacks and apple pie, but then make it brown butter? Here for it. This one is festive, gently spiced and fruit forward, with a tender crumb. The buttercream is absolutely chef’s kiss and so rich and comforting. I love this for an early fall treat or a less traditional take on apple pie at the thanksgiving table. Either way, in a season dominated by pies and breads, I say don’t forget about cake!

Chai Coffee Cake

The details

We are welcoming fall (almost) here in the Crockett house with this utterly delicious Chai Coffee Cake! It’s a classic coffee cake consisting of a rich yellow cake base, buttery cinnamon ribbon swirl running through the middle, and warmly spiced, crunchy topping. Think the Starbucks cinnamon coffee cake, but taken up about 10 notches with quality ingredients and the richness of chai spice. OH YES the chai spice blend! Cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, ginger, and coriander make this cake truly one not to miss, and to devour with your morning coffee.

Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls

The details

Hello Hello and welcome to Fall! Can you tell I love Fall? It’s my favorite season, October is my favorite month, and Halloween my favorite holiday. So I’m not kidding when I say I get VERY excited about all my pumpkin spice baking. And this recipe is my favorite to date. Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls are the MOST squishy, gooey, spice-filled, and packed with pumpkin flavor. We’ve got a squishy pumpkin dough, pumpkin spice brown sugar filling, AND pumpkin cream cheese frosting. You will LOVE them. But probably not as much as I do!
