A few days ago, I had the chance to visit Hopcott Farms in Pitt Meadows, BC and tour one of their beautiful cranberry bogs. After the tour, I couldn’t resist picking up a bag of freshly-harvested cranberries from their Farm Store to take home. I was inspired to create something new with them, and what came out of my kitchen might just be my new favorite bake: Cranberry Walnut Dark Chocolate Cakes!

As the air turns crisp and the leaves start to fall, nothing says autumn quite like the warm, comforting flavors of pumpkin spice. These pumpkin spice mini cakes are the perfect way to embrace the season—soft, moist, and filled with those cozy spices we all crave this time of year. Topped with a rich cream cheese icing, they strike just the right balance of sweet and tangy. Whether you’re baking them as a festive dessert for family gatherings or simply to enjoy with a cup of coffee on a chilly afternoon, these little cakes are sure to bring a taste of fall to every bite.
