Ready for a fresh fall dessert that’s rooted in tradition? Pick this recipe for a simple scratch cake that might remind you of something Grandma used to make. Similar to a pound cake but with fragrant, sweet cardamom cutting through its rich buttery crumb. Sliced apples strewn across the top melt into the cake just slightly during baking for a pretty look that only needs a dusting of powdered sugar to be complete. The end result is an apple dessert that’s not too sweet but incredibly flavorful. It’s as perfect with a steaming cup of coffee at breakfast time as it is mounded with whipped cream after dinner. And since it’s ready to serve in just over an hour, it’s totally weeknight friendly!

When bowls of candy corn start appearing on coffee tables, we know fall has arrived. So why not let this playful candy inspire a seasonal sugar cookie? Their yellow and orange color, along with their white frosting-dipped tips, are unmistakable nods to our inspiration, but the marbling effect is a fun twist dreamed up by the Betty Crocker™ Kitchens. And while the marbling is indeed impressive—making these perfect for fall parties—the technique is easy; just follow our step-by-step instructions below.

If you love butterscotch, you’re going to want a slice (or two!) of this incredible pudding layer cake. Made easy with Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix, this cake’s three layers are given extra flavor with milk, melted butter and butterscotch pudding mix. The layers are separated by a from-scratch butterscotch-dark chocolate buttercream frosting that’s then used to frost the entirety of the cake. Crushed pretzels are used to decorate the sides of the cake, while caramel is poured on top to double down on the butterscotch flavor. The caramel is then sprinkled with sea salt for a sweet-and-salty combination that’s undeniably delicious.

We love upside-down cakes, and this unbeatable combination of pecan pie and upside-down cake is no exception. Brown sugar, melted butter and pecan halves are mixed together and spread in a cake pan, which then gets topped with a sweet Bisquick™ batter, baked, and drizzled with a powdered sugar-milk glaze. The end result is a gooey pecan pie layer that sits atop a fluffy—yet dense—cake, instead of a pie crust. This dessert is a wonderful treat for fall (or all year-round for pecan pie lovers!) and tastes especially delightful when served with a side of from-scratch sweetened whipped cream. We love this cake as a sweet addition to any meal—either a post-dinner treat or even as a star of your next brunch party!

This layered cake is pure chocolate confection. Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ chocolate cake mix gets an extra chocolaty plus-up from the addition of chocolate pudding before baking. A from-scratch dangerously good dark chocolate buttercream frosting covers the three layers of cake. The special addition that takes this dessert to the next level? A toffee bits crunch that’s sprinkled among the frosting in between the cake layers, and then piled atop the cake. For an extra-fun touch, we added small frosting stars piped around the edges of the top of the cake! It’s a truly over-the-top chocolate dessert that makes a gorgeous centerpiece, and makes any chocolate-loving guest very happy.

Wherever you serve them, people are likely to fall for these cookies, and it’s no wonder why: They’re absolutely autumnal all the way through. The cookie dough gets a jump start from Betty’s perfect sugar cookie mix before buttery maple extract and warm cinnamon are added. Cutting cookies into leaf shapes is fun and easy—use any shape you like, or make an assortment!—and the final step is to add a little fall color. Dipping cookies in a bowl of marbled red, orange and yellow frosting is not only easy—all you need is a container of Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting and some food color—but it also leaves each cookie with a unique pattern and smooth bakery-style frosting.

If you’re looking for a baking project or beautiful (and wildly delicious!) layered cake for a special occasion, look no further than this Black Forest Layer Cake. Three layers of a moist chocolate cake are separated by a from-scratch cherry filling (made with dark sweet cherries) that’s both rich and tart in its taste, then frosted with a Swiss buttercream frosting and decorated with shaved chocolate and a pile of maraschino cherries. What makes this cake truly special is the “double dam” frosting border! Frosting is piped twice on the outside edge of the cake layer so there’s a thick layer of buttercream that holds in the cherry filling. The end result is a dramatic black and white look and a touch of extra Swiss buttercream for frosting lovers. This cake is an absolute stunner, and it will reward the baker and the guests alike!
