How To Make Vanilla Magic Cake — Baking Lessons from The Kitchn

Open Baking Lesson

Magic cakes are a one-pan wonder for folks who love lots of different textures in their desserts. The top is crisped and golden-brown; airy as a gossamer angel food cake. The center is custardy, flan-like, and creamy. The bottom is a dense layer — not quite a cake and not quite a custard and altogether delicious.

Recipe: Pumpkin Magic Cake — Recipes from The Kitchn

Pumpkin custard magic cake is a new take on a Thanksgiving dessert that's chock-full of familiar flavors. Like vanilla magic cake, this is a unique treat with three layers of custardy dessert, all from a single batter. It's thick at the bottom, rich and custardy in the middle, and fluffy like a super-moist sponge cake on top, making it guaranteed to satisfy the pumpkin pie, pumpkin custard, and pumpkin cake lovers in your crowd.

Perhaps best of all for the cook, pumpkin custard magic cake has to be made in advance and refrigerated, leaving plenty of oven space.

Recipe: Bread, Sausage, and Apple Hash — The Post-Thanksgiving Refrigerator

I adore simplicity and I think restraint, especially when it comes to cooking, is one of the most elegant things to practice. I haven't always been this way. True story: I am a recovered snob. When I first started cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my entire family and our extended tables of friends, which was when I was in middle school, I insisted that everyone try my warm panzanella with sausage and autumnal vegetables. I threw a fit when my brother insisted it was just stuffing — which, in fact, it was.

Recipe: Chocolate Pudding Cake with Coke Frosting — Stranger Thanksgiving

Going home for the holidays is like going to the Upside Down, back in time to when the world still felt strange and new. Welcome to Stranger Thanksgiving, inspired by Netflix's hit Stranger Things and the Thanksgivings of our childhoods.

One of the most beloved aspects in the series Stranger Things is the show's ability to look at the past through the lens of today. It captures the moods we remember fondly as children and embraces those in modern storytelling. The desserts of Thanksgiving are much the same. There will always be the standard pumpkin pie, but dessert is the place to introduce new traditions with ease.

Taking a slight detour from tradition, the final chapter of our Stranger Things-inspired Thanksgiving gives a nod to Eleven and the kids who valiantly save the world fueled by Snack Pack pudding stolen from the school cafeteria. Chocolate — in this case, a chocolate pudding cake — is a welcome respite in a pumpkin- and sweet potato-heavy season and a nostalgia-packed departure from tradition.
