Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

The cream cheese in these makes them more like a from scratch recipe and not a cake mix. I made mini cupcakes and everyone loved them. Thank you for this recipe!

I wanted to make a play on cheese cake which is temperamental and takes forever, I'm adding a strawberry filling and topping it with whipped cream=) Perfect recipe to do so, cheep and easy!

This is good but I wanted a cake not cupcakes. I used the same recipe except I only used 3/4 c water. Cooking time in 2 9-inch cake pans was 23 minutes. It turned out great!
