I really love making dump cakes because they have got to be the easiest desserts to make on the planet.

You literally just dump everything together in your greased baking dish, throw it in the oven, and there you have it. I’ve made pumpkin dump cakes before but this is the first 3-layer pumpkin dump cake I’ve ever tried. Don’t worry, it’s still easy to make 🙂

I think that this 3-layer pumpkin dump cake will look great on any holiday dessert table or you can make it too kick off the fall season. As you all know, fall is the season for making yummy desserts and baked goods such as pumpkin dump cake. What are some of your favorite fall desserts? I bet that many of you will turn to this 3-layer pumpkin dump cake after you’ve sampled its goodness. Enjoy!

If you are looking for something festive to serve at a party or just want an extra-special treat for the little ones, this Candy Corn Layer Cake is an excellent choice. It’s filled with that sweet and buttery flavor of the original candy and topped off with a creamy chocolate frosting.

I don’t know about you, but Halloween is something of a big production at my home. Basically, we go all out on the orange and purple lighting, ghosts, skeletons, and cobwebs and have a haunted house for the month of October. I think that it’s a fun, safe way to let the inner child express itself–and something nice for the neighborhood kids to look at. With all of the spooky scenery, I enjoy having a festive sweet treat or two. This candy corn cake was the perfect thing for our Halloween party – but the kids immediately told me they are going to want this for every party now on…

Have this fancy, great-tasting cake ready in an hour and a half. This Apple Pecan Cream Cheese Cake is great for gatherings or a home treat. Everyone will love all of the fall flavors and varied textures of this cake, especially if you serve it with a bit of ice cream on the side.

I do love a fancy cake now and then, but I am not always keen on the fancy hassle. Well, I found this recipe rather straightforward, and there isn’t any fancy equipment required for this. A 9″ x 5″ loaf pan, standard mixer, measuring cups, and an oven in which to bake the cake are about all that you’ll need to get started on this one. And trust me, it is yummy.

If you need a good, creamy dessert for your next tailgate or home gathering, this Layered Vanilla Crumble makes a bunch and is rather easy to put together. This is the perfect recipe for those days when you want to serve something special, but don’t have the time or energy to spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

Even if I can plan things well in advance, I don’t always have the time to make a really elaborate dessert for a group.  This layered vanilla crumble only takes about half an hour of actual prep to prepare a dessert for about 15, with the rest of the time involved just being waiting for it to set in the refrigerator.  And most people, myself included, really like the flavor and the mix of textures in this.  If you like vanilla, you really ought to give this a try.

Quick tip: Instead of Nilla wafers, you could use graham crackers.

This Layered Banana Split is a great, low-hassle, family-friendly dessert that also would be well received at a potluck (or even a tailgate, if you have a way of keeping it relatively chilled).  You’ll love the stacks of sweet, creamy flavor, and you can keep it simple or “fancy it up” as much as you like!

I love making an elaborate dessert, now and then, but sometimes, it is those simple ones that keep me coming back for more.  This layered banana split doesn’t even require any baking, and yet it has piles of sweet flavor that will win over people of all ages. I’ve served this a couple of times at family gatherings and it has been a huge success among the young and the old. Make sure you’ll get a portion of your own, before it’s gone!
