PUMPKIN LAYER CAKE



Pumpkin Layer Cake image

This spiced pumpkin cake is enhanced by layers of a delectably rich frosting that features cream cheese and goat cheese. Quince, available in the fall, has a fragrant, apple-like flavor. If you can't find fresh ones, use pears or apples instead.

Time 2h10m

Yield Makes one 8-inch layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans and parchment
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for parchment
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups packed light-brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 cup buttermilk
Goat Cheese Frosting
Quince-Ginger Compote(optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush two 8-inch round cake pans with butter; line with parchment rounds. Butter parchment; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in pumpkin; add vanilla and ginger. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with 2 batches of buttermilk; beat until just combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
  • Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until cakes are golden brown, edges pull away from sides of pans, and a cake tester comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks to cool 15 minutes. Turn out cakes onto racks to cool completely.
  • Place bottom layer on a cake stand or platter, and spread evenly with half the frosting. Top with second layer, and spread remaining frosting over top. Top cake with some quince-ginger compote, and serve remainder on the side.

Time 2h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 cups powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup toasted slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 6-inch round springform pans.
  • Combine sugar, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and ginger into a separate bowl; stir into sugar mixture. Stir in pumpkin until well blended. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake layer comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Turn out onto wire racks to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Cut rounded tops off of cooled cakes with a large, serrated bread knife so they are flat and even.
  • Combine powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whip until there are absolutely no lumps; this may take up to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place 1 tier of cake onto a serving plate. Frost the top liberally; place second tier on top. Generously frost the entire cake. Stick almonds gently by the handful onto the sides of the cake.
