Happy
Cupcake Friday!
Lately, I cannot seem to have a meal without also having dessert. Sometimes, I don't even need the meal first! Over two years ago,
I posted about a cookbook giveaway I won over at
The SoHo. I cannot tell you how much I have used
that cookbook! One of my favorite recipes found in the book is for
Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cakes. Since I am trying to make it feel like Fall around here, I decided this pumpkin dessert would be perfect! I followed the recipe above exactly and baked it for a little more than 50 minutes. It says not to overcook, but I kept checking it and thought there was no way it could possibly be done at 40 minutes...even at 50 minutes, it still didn't seem done. After cooling for a bit, I dove into it and while really gooey, it was delicious. It says it should be gooey, so I am assuming it was done. Warm... it is heaven. Cold, after being refrigerated, it is a different kind of heaven. Either way, this recipe is so incredibly good.
Unfortunately for me, I decided to make this while my husband was out of town. Since I ate so much of it before he got home, I have discovered I probably ate at least a stick of butter by myself in two days. Yikes! In a silly attempt to hide how much I actually ate, I took the rest out of the baking dish and tried to use a biscuit cutter to make them like little cupcakes. As you can see from the photos, they didn't turn out as pretty as I had hoped, but at least it wasn't as obvious that I ate half of the pan alone! :)
Have a happy weekend!!

That looks delicious!
A stick of butter in 2 days... So little? (Paula would say) hehehe!

I love these! Pumpkin pie is a fall favorite so I may have to try making them.
That is hilarious that you tried to camouflage the evidence of what you had done. :)
These look so good, I would have done the exact same thing.
Oh my, these look amazing! I love that you almost ate it all before you hubby got home. Sounds like something I would do! ;)
Adore your blog sweetie! xo
Woman, how do you stay so skinny? If I ate a stick of butter in two days, it would show instantly! I need your secrets!
That recipe is so easy and good! I may have to make them this weekend.
