Upside Down Pumpkin Cake

I tried this dessert at Dessert Auction I recently went to. It was so yummy that I bombarded the lady who made them to ask what they were. I couldn't wait for the recipe so I googled it and found multiple similar desserts, so I tried some things out and came to this amazingly beautiful fall dessert!! It's great in the Flexipat (similar to jelly roll pan) and there's extra to place in a different mold, in which I opted for no nuts in that one. Or, make a smaller batch for just the flexipat or one mold.
Hope you enjoy!












Ingredients

• 1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin

• 1 cup white sugar

• 3 eggs

• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

• 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

• 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix w/ pudding in it

• 1 cup butter, melted

• 1 cup pecans, chopped

• 2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place your Flexipat or Fleximold on the perforated baking sheet and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the pumpkin, sugar and eggs. Mix in the evaporated milk and pumpkin pie spice; pour into the prepared pan. (NOTE:  I used Pumpkin Pie mix instead of regular pumpkin filling and omitted the spices - just a step easier)

3. Sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pumpkin, then the pecans and then drizzle melted butter over the cake mix.

4. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool, then invert onto a serving dish. Serve with whipped topping. NOTE: If using the Flexipat or a "thinner" version, you don't need to cook for a full hour, probably only 45 minutes like I did with the Flexipat. This does not need to be refrigerated but is best when served same day or the next.

Chili Relleno Quiche...or any other kind of crustless quiche

Image
This is the most popular recipe, by far, from the food I make at my parties! And, to my surprise, I have never posted it on here...so, figure I should now. EASY EASY RECIPE!!! This is the recipe for about a 2qt mold, like the flower mold, or if you're going to pour into a tray (muffin, square savarin, etc.). However, I use the Sunflower mold the most, so in parentheses I will put how much I use for the sunflower mold ...if that makes any sense ;) Ingredients: 8 eggs, beaten (10) ¾ cup sour cream (1 cup) 3 cups Monterey Jack & Cheddar shredded cheese mix (4 cups) - you can use whatever cheese you like best, even the Mexican blend would be good. I like the Jack/Cheddar combo best though 2 - 4 oz cans or 1 - 7 oz can of diced green chilies, undrained (a 4 oz AND a 7 oz can) Tabasco Sauce, optional (I never use this at parties, but if you like spice, go for it!) Whisk the eggs first, really well.  Then, add your sour cream and whisk very well. It turns out best when t...

Chocolate Kahlua Cake

Image
Yummy!! I found this recipe in the new Demarle Dessert cookbook and it is so good! Any 18-22 oz package Chocolate Cake mix. I used a Duncan Hines Devil's Food mix 4 eggs 1 cup sour cream 1 cup Kahlua 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 340. In the mixing bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, sour cream, Kahlua and oil. Beat with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until blended. Do not over mix. Stir in chocolate chips with spatula. Place Fluted Bundt Mold on perforated baking sheet. Pour batter into mold. Bake for 45 minutes. Check to see if cake is done with toothpick. Do not over bake! Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes in pan before unmolding. You can spinkle powdered sugar on top, drizzle with melted white chocolate chips or decorate with whipped topping. But I did not do any of those and it was perfect as is, and it is so easy to make!!

Instant Pot One Pot Pasta

This is a form of baked ziti with meat sauce, but all made in one pot. No more cooking in 2 pots on the stove and then in the oven in a third dish. The family loved this!  Ingredients: Olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves of garlic, chopped (or these amazing frozen garlic chunks) italian seasoning (I just eyeball this, but I'm guessing I used 1 tsp of salt, pepper, 1 tbsp dried parsley, 2 tsp dried basil, or these fabulous frozen basil chunks) 1 lb ground beef (I prefer lean just so you don't have to drain it but up to you; could also use turkey, sausage, or no meat) 1 jar pasta sauce (I like the Trader Joe's tomato & basil marinara) 1 jar of water 1 15 oz can tomato sauce (or more of the jar, but this is how I made it tonight so those are the ingredients I'm listing) 1 lb your favorite tube pasta; we used penne pasta (tube just holds more stuff inside and tends to be better for this type of recipe) 1 cup mozzarella cheese, optional Se...
