Pumpkin Magic Custard Cake Recipe

Have you ever heard of magic custard cake? It is something that has been on my baking bucket list ever since I spotted the cakes by Todd and Diane at White On Rice Couple. Since it is fall and I’ve got pumpkin on my mind, I made a Pumpkin Magic Custard Cake.

I thought I was really clever until I checked Pinterest this morning and found that Gerry at Foodness Gracious already made a Pumpkin Magic Cake a year ago and mine is almost exactly the same as his. But I’m going to go ahead and share mine anyway. This Pumpkin Magic Custard Cake is like pumpkin pie without the crust. Instead, there is this light, delicious cake-like layer on the top!

Before I get to the recipe, I wanted to share one of my pictures from our weekend getaway with you. (I’ve heard it through the grapevine that some of you, who know me outside of this blog, want to see more of my photos so this one is for you.) We are having such a gorgeous fall here in Minnesota. The colors of the changing leaves have not been as spectacular as other years but we certainly can’t complain about the temperature. We went Duluth over the weekend with a couple other families. I am one of those people who gets up at the crack of dawn, while on vacation, to enjoy the sunrise. This photograph is a small example of why it is worth it. It’s all about the quiet, the cool air, the rising sun and it is such a great way to start the day!
