2 Ingredient Pumpkin Desserts

Two ingredient pumpkin cake and two ingredient pumpkin brownies are both ridiculously easy to make and insanely delicious! Oh my goodness, can you believe that each dessert only uses two ingredients (and a few more for the glaze and frosting). These could not be any simpler to make. I kid you not, the pumpkin cake was gone in a matter of one day, yep, one day, six hours to be exact! I am not completely shocked that four people ate an entire cake in hours, but it is also something that I am not completely proud of. The brownies survived more than one day, but not by much. I am surprised that these two recipes are so easy to make, yet they taste so amazing! The apple cider glaze and frosting are also very easy to make, and each only use a few ingredients. These are perfect fall desserts and I am pretty sure you will make them more than once this season! Enjoy!

Notes

The pumpkin cake batter will be very thick, but it bakes together perfectly. The pumpkin cake recipe that I used said to bake the cake for 28 minutes, but I found that 24 was perfect. You do not want to over bake the cake. Start checking around 22-23 minutes and continue testing with a toothpick. The pumpkin brownie recipe I used said to bake for 25-30 minutes, but 23 minutes worked for me. Start checking your brownies with a toothpick at 20 minutes and continue checking until the toothpick comes out clean.
