Sinister Saturday – Haunted Manor Pumpkin Bread (cake fail?)

Happy Sinister Saturday! Today, we attempted to bake pumpkin bread using a Nordic Ware Haunted Manor pan.

Nordic Ware pans are amazing. The Haunted Skull cakelet pan is my favorite.

The Haunted Manor pan will set you back $25-30, depending where you buy it and when.

This might be a purchase to save for after Halloween or a Black Friday sale for a nice discount. Highly encourage everyone to buy Skull pan. It’s super useful for a ton of different recipes.

I started with a box of Libby’s Pumpkin Bread.

As I said before, I’m not into baking. I mean, I’d love it if I wasnt so damn bad at it!😅

I’ve been successfully using Libby’s Pumpkin bread for years. The recipe is super easy, four eggs, a cup of water, half cup of oil and mix well.

So fast, so easy, a child could do this. After baking for an hour, it looked like I might pull it off.

30 mins later, reality crushed my weekend dream of making Haunted Manor pumpkin bread. The cake broke into several pieces with the top half not all agreeing to come out of the pan.

I eventually gave up and dug it out, resulting in the above picture. It seems a Haunted Manor pan may be too advanced for my baking skills!🤣

While the Haunted Manor cake visual was complete failure, it tasted fantastic! Just like always. That’s why I love this pumpkin bread mix from Libby’s.

I used some leftover batter to make pumpkin muffins instead.

Pumpkin muffins save the day!

Happy Halloween! Be safe out there!

Addendum:

This cake pan is NIGHTMARE to clean!
