PUMPKIN FUDGE TORTE



Pumpkin Fudge Torte image

With a texture that falls somewhere between pudding and ganache, this bittersweet torte is silky smooth and very rich. The whipped cream topping, run through with spiced pumpkin purée, is a fluffy contrast to the torte's denseness. You can make the torte two days ahead. Store it, well wrapped, in the refrigerator, then let it come to room temperature before serving.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/4 cups/275 grams dark brown sugar
1/2 cup/45 grams unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup/95 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/240 milliliters heavy cream
4 tablespoons/30 grams confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup/80 milliliters pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter an 8-inch springform pan.
  • Place a small saucepan over medium-low heat, then add butter. Let heat, stirring with a spoon once or twice, until butter melts. Turn off the heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa and salt. Pour melted butter into the cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth. Let mixture cool until lukewarm, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk pumpkin purée into the cooled cocoa mixture, then whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Whisk in flour until smooth and silky looking.
  • Pour the batter into prepared pan, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Bake until the top of the cake is firm and doesn't wiggle if you shake the pan, 30 to 40 minutes. Using oven mitts, transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely, at least 2 hours.
  • Make the cream: In a large mixing bowl using electric beaters or an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the cream and 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar until thick and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Store whipped cream in the fridge for up to 6 hours if not using immediately.
  • Just before serving, in a small bowl, vigorously whisk the remaining 3 tablespoons/25 grams confectioners' sugar, pumpkin and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and no white lumps of sugar remain, about 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pumpkin mixture into the whipped cream until very streaky.
  • Run a small offset metal spatula or butter knife around the inner edges of the cake pan, then release the sides of the cake pan and remove them. Place the torte, still on the bottom of the pan, onto a platter. Dollop the pumpkin-streaked whipped cream on top and sprinkle lightly with pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon.

PUMPKIN TORTE



Pumpkin Torte image

This is a traditional Thanksgiving recipe from my boyfriend's family. It is lighter and fluffier than pumpkin pie, and now I make it for our family every year. Be very careful pressing down the graham cracker crust, or it will come out much too hard; in fact you might not want to at all.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 large torte, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers (, about 12 long crackers)
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups pumpkin (canned)
3 egg yolks
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup granulated white sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 egg whites

Steps:

  • Mix crust ingredients until moist, and press*very* gently and evenly into bottom of 9"x13" cake pan.
  • Blend'cream cheese mix' ingredients until smooth and free of lumps; I find it easiest to cream the cheese& sugar together, then gradually add the egg.
  • Pour over crust, then bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees Farenheit.
  • Cool to room temp.
  • Combine all'pumpkin mix' ingredients except last three (egg whites, gelatin and 1/4 cup sugar); cook on stovetop until thickened.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Dissolve gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water; add to pumpkin mixture.
  • Cool to room temperature.
  • Whip the egg whites, gradually adding 1/4 cup sugar, until stiff.
  • Gently fold into pumpkin mixture.
  • Fill cake pan with pumpkin mixture; chill and serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Prepare the Crust in Advance: To save time, bake the crust the day before and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final flavor of your pumpkin torte. Use fresh pumpkin purée, pure vanilla extract, and real spices for the best results.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense torte. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Torte Until Set: The torte is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Chill the Torte Before Serving: Chilling the torte for at least 4 hours, or overnight, allows the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.

Conclusion:

This potluck pumpkin torte is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any fall gathering. With its creamy, pumpkin filling and flaky crust, this torte is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to bring to a potluck, give this pumpkin torte a try. You won't be disappointed!
