Pumpkin Earthquake Cake

Earthquake Cake.

Have you heard of this? Have you eaten this? Do you want to? (Yes. Always yes.)

If you’re familiar with what earthquake cake is, you know what I’m talking about when I say it’s practically irresistible. If you’re not familiar with it, let me be the first to tell you about this life changing, rich, gooey and utterly ridiculously delicious dessert.


It’s almost like cake meets brownie meets pudding and it’s weird and wonderful all at once.

I know.

Then you add pumpkin and spice to the mix and it’s pretty much the fall dessert of all of my hopes and dreams (and hopefully yours as well).
