Over the past several years I have learned to enjoy and experiment with cooking, baking and freezing food. Whether it be all-out from scratch, creating quick meals to grab and go, or making pretty food for a gift.
This Pennsylvania Dutch Girl has enjoyed a Chicago Deep Dish Pizza from time to time, but never really attempting to make my own, until recently learning to make pizza crust.
…a round tin cake pan is what I used ~ it doesn’t get anymore ‘dutch’ than this, using what you already have on hand to make this Deep Dish Pizza!
And pretty much in my mind….a Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is nothing more than an upside down pizza in a deeper pan….so a cake pan will do just fine.
My Chicago friend, Sheila is probably cringing about now.

Pumpkin ‘No Spice’ Baby Bundt Cake
There is nothing wrong with eating pumpkin desserts all year long….but for some reason anything pumpkin tastes better during the Autumn season.
And this Recipe for ‘Pumpkin ‘No Spice’ Baby Bundt Cake‘ is no different.
I typically never add the ‘spice’ when it comes to pumpkin recipes…..simply just to enjoy the flavor of pumpkin.
Don’t have enough pumpkin? Substitute mashed bananas for the measurement difference. I keep frozen (ripened) mashed bananas on hand and also leftover pumpkin from other recipes. (why throw away good food).
