This Pumpkin Spice Latte Toffee Cake have a pumpkin espresso base with toffee pieces and covered in vanilla glaze.


Tomorrow is American Thanksgiving.

I’ve been trying to think of some amazing post to come up with about gratitude.

But I have a sinus infection and my brain just doesn’t want to help me out with that…I blame the Sudafed.

So I will go a more shallow route and I will list what I am thankful for in the baking world.

  • 2. Nutmeg grinder.

    I bought one when I won a $1000 shopping spree in a kitchen store when I was 23 years old. It was awesome.

    Talk about setting your kitchen up. I bought it.

    Thought it was overpriced for such a silly thing.

    I use it almost daily.

    I’m 41 now. It has more than covered the $24 that it cost.
    Nutmeg is my favorite spice and I feel it is way underused. I don’t just use it in baking but it’s my secret ingredient in a lot of my cooking. The one I use they no longer make but this one is close to what I use.
  • 3. Sprinkles.

    When all else fails and my cake/cupcake/cookie decorating has gone to crap I can cover it up with sprinkles and it’s okay. You can’t help but smile when you see sprinkles. I buy mine in bulk. I get mine at a local Cash and Carry.
  • 4. Disposable piping bags.

    Seriously love these. I pipe a lot of things not just frosting. I use them to fill mini muffins or cupcakes or even regular cupcakes.
    It’s so nice to just use them and not have to clean them.

    Cleaning a piping bag is a pain. I use these ones Wilton 100-Pack Disposable Decorating Bags 12inch …and yes I buy 100 at a time.
  • 5. Culinary Torch.

    Back in the day we used to have to use just a blow torch from Home Depot so when the culinary torch came out it was like YAY!

    Perfect for making crème brulee and toasting meringue and marshmallows (we do a lot of S’mores around here). I have this one BonJour Brushed Aluminum Chef’s Torch with Fuel Gauge .
  • 6. My 7qt. Kitchen Aid Mixer.
    Yes 7qt. It makes 14 dozen cookies at once…and yes I have had to test that.
    It is a beast. It is a beast that this baker needed.

    Yes it cost the most out of any Kitchen Aid I have owned.

    Yes to me it is worth it. I have owned it now for two years and it is used daily. I have more than covered the cost of it easily. If you are a serious baker then you need to really think about upgrading to it.

    I do also have a professional 6qt that I use as well. I know, I suck.

    Anyway…be nice to Santa and maybe he will bring you a KitchenAid Candy-Red Stand Mixer KSM7586PCA , 7 qt. and hopefully in red (that’s what I have).



  • 7.Kitchenaid Flex Edge Beater For 6 Qt. Mixers…this was the most needed attachment that Kitchen Aid needed for years and never had.

    Finally everything in the bowl actually gets picked up.

    Please note that they come in different sizes depending on what mixer you have.
  • 8. Baking spray. This is the best for us lazy bakers who have no desire to butter and flour pans. 🙂

This Pumpkin Spice Latte Toffee Cake I made awhile back and then had brain fog and totally forgot which cookbook it came from.

Oops.

Then luckily when looking through the book to find a recipe…I found the recipe that I adapted the cake from. 🙂

If you are not a fan of coffee still make this cake and just leave out the powdered coffee.

This cake is crazy moist and totally awesome for the pumpkin lovers of the world!

Would be great to make for guest this holiday weekend.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends.

And if you are going out on Friday don’t get trampled or trample anyone.

Better yet, shop online. 😀

Last but not least…It’s a great time to buy my cookbook.

  2. Can I give an Amen to that list? I mean, everyone knows that if something is made in a mini pan, it only contains 1/4 of the calories of a serving the same weight from a big pan. I love nutmeg too, unless it’s the fakey-fakey overpowered nutmeg some candies that say “pumpkin spice” use. And sprinkles. Ask my brothers how many times I’ve said, “Sprinkles make everything better.” One day I will own a spatula beater for my mixer. One day!! 🙂

    I’ve never actually tried a pumpkin spice latte – coffee is another thing I don’t really do with spice – but I love pumpkin anything and pumpkin with toffee sound fantabulous, which is officially a word. 😀 This cake looks so incredibly moist in the pictures. It’s beautiful.

  4. Looks absolutely delicious! A good way to use my last pie pumpkin.
    Happy Thanksgiving, Peabody! Hope you feel better soon.
    BTW, there are some  symbols with some of the measures. Is this a typo?

  6. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving. I think that you did come up with an amazing post, and sometimes we need to be thankful for all the little things like pastry bags or French Press coffee in the morning (or anytime for that matter). I know once I make it I will also be thankful for your recipe for Pumpkin Spice Latte Toffee Cake.

  7. Happy Thanksgiving Peabody. I thankful you share your life, family and recipes with us. I just finished making Skibe Castdle Ginger Crunch. I’m making them for our Friendsgiving celebration tomorrow. Although I may need my husband to hide the cookies. I forget the addictive taste of these cookies.
