This Pumpkin Spice Cake brings the comforting warmth of Thanksgiving straight to your kitchen. With pumpkin purée as the moist base and a blend of aromatic spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves, this cake is soft, fragrant, and full of autumn character. It’s inspired by classic American fall baking traditions where pumpkin is the star of the season, featured in pies, breads, muffins, and festive desserts. This cake is a lighter, simpler take on those flavours yet still rich enough for a holiday table. Whether served plain, dusted with sugar, or topped with cream cheese frosting, it evokes a nostalgic, cosy feel, perfect for sharing during gatherings. It’s also incredibly easy to make and forgiving, making it ideal for beginner bakers or anyone looking to bring a warm, spiced dessert to Thanksgiving celebrations.

Thanksgiving always brings rich pies and heavy desserts, so this pudding acts as a refreshing contrast. Soft bananas, warm vanilla sauce, and buttery cookies come together in cosy layers that mimic the comfort of banana cream pie but with half the effort. It chills beautifully, making it perfect for prepping ahead of a big holiday meal.

This cardamom and pistachio baked oatmeal meal prep is all about bringing that cosy vibe to your breakfast table. With the warm, inviting scent of cardamom and the delightful crunch of pistachios, it’s a wholesome dish you can savour throughout the week. Not too sweet, super comforting, and incredibly simple to make, it’s just what you need for those busy mornings.
