butternut-pumpkin spice sheet cake + bourbon-vanilla cream cheese frosting
Be still my pumpkin and bourbon and cake-loving heart.
This sheet cake, you guys. Can I tell you something about it? It’s pretty tasty. And I think you should make it for your Halloween-ing weekend.
I actually made this cake a few weeks ago for my friend Lauren of Keep It Sweet Desserts, who just had an adorable baby boy named Liam whose cheeks I want to squish through the computer screen. Sadly, I couldn’t literally share this cake with her as we live a few hundred miles from each other (which is so unfortunate, considering all of the dessert yums that girl makes that I would happily take from her if we were neighbors). Instead, I gave it to my husband to share with his co-workers and apparently they loved it, said the three crumbs that came home with him later that day.
Anywho, about that baby. So Lauren can get in as many sweet snuggles with him as she can, I’m guest posting for her today with — you guessed it — this cake. So my suggestion? Drop everything and head over to her blog for the recipe. Need I remind you of the bourbon?
Happy (cake-eating, Halloween-ing) weekend, friends!
Oh my! This looks amazing but sounds out-of-this-world delicious! WANT!!
I only have one problem with this. I don’t want to make it for my Halloween-ing weekend.
Because that is a WHOLE DAY AWAY. I want it for breakfast. Like the meal that I am going to eat in about an hour. That one. RIGHT NOW.
Pinned!

Bourbon-vanilla frosting?! I want it all!! This sheet cake looks like it’s absolutely possible to resist. I want to eat it with/in my morning coffee!
Butternut and pumpkin?!?! Girl, you know my weakness. I love this recipe.

This is a dessert after my own heart… YUM! I think once you start adding bourbon to vanilla anything, it’s impossible to go back (think bourbon-vanilla ice cream 🙂
