PUMPKIN BUNDT CAKE WITH MAPLE BROWN-BUTTER GLAZE



Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Maple Brown-Butter Glaze image

Bundt cakes are classic showstoppers - big, lofty and usually dressed in elegant drizzles and drips of glaze. Here, a dense, moist cake full of warm fall spices and pumpkin purée is encased in a layer of rich, nutty brown-butter maple glaze. Feel free to make it a day before you plan to serve it: This cake keeps well at room temperature, and you might think it's even better on the second day. Just make sure to keep it covered and resist the urge to shave off a slice every time you walk by. If you can find it, use organic confectioners' sugar for the glaze. It's made from raw sugar and uses tapioca rather than cornstarch as its anticaking agent. It will give the glaze a richer taste and smoother texture than conventional confectioners' sugar - a tip picked up from Stella Parks.

Time 2h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 cups/384 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups/440 grams light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup/114 grams unsalted butter, soft but cool
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 (15-ounce) can/425 grams pumpkin purée
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup/102 grams confectioners' sugar (preferably organic), sifted
1/4 cup maple syrup
Pinch of salt
1 to 2 tablespoons lightly toasted pepitas (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees, and butter and flour a 12-cup (or larger) capacity bundt pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice and black pepper until well combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine brown sugar, butter and olive oil. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for about 20 seconds in between each egg. Add the pumpkin purée and sour cream, and mix until well combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer, and use a rubber spatula to fold in the dry ingredients until well combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure an evenly mixed batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and firmly tap the pan on the countertop a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes.
  • Set the cake, still in its pan, on a rack to cool for 20 minutes, then use the tip of a knife to loosen the edges and invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely before glazing.
  • Make the glaze: Once the cake is cool, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook the butter, occasionally scraping the bottom and sides of the pan with a rubber spatula until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty. Don't walk away from the pan during this process. The butter can go from brown and nutty to acrid and burnt in mere moments.
  • Transfer butter and all the brown bits from the pan to a heat-safe bowl, and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and salt until smooth. The glaze should be thick but pourable. If it's too thin, add a bit more confectioners' sugar. If it's too thick, add a few drops of water.
  • Transfer the cake to a serving platter and pour the glaze evenly over the top. Sprinkle with pepitas if desired. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing.

PUMPKIN SHEET CAKE WITH MOLASSES CREAM-CHEESE FROSTING



Pumpkin Sheet Cake With Molasses Cream-Cheese Frosting image

This simple, warmly spiced pumpkin cake is enough to feed a crowd, making it a perfect holiday treat. It's also relatively versatile: You can serve it in the pan for an easy presentation, or transfer it to a platter for something a little more refined. The frosting is just enough to coat the cake in a thin layer, but, if you want more, you may want to more for a generous coating. And, for a more subtly flavored frosting, substitute an equal amount of dark maple syrup for the molasses, or skip the molasses entirely for pure cream-cheese flavor.

Time 45m

Yield One 9x13-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), softened but cool, plus more for the pan
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups/330 grams light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup/60 milliliters grapeseed or other neutral-flavored oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (15-ounce/425-gram) can pumpkin purée
1/2 cup/4 ounces/113 grams cream cheese, softened but cool
1/4 cup/57 grams unsalted butter, softened but cool
2 cups/226 grams confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices until well combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the brown sugar, butter and grapeseed oil. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing for about 20 seconds between each. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin purée and mix until well combined, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Turn the mixer to low, and add the dry ingredients. Stir until a few spots of flour remain. Remove the bowl from the mixer, and use a rubber spatula to finish folding in the dry ingredients. The batter will be thick and fluffy, so make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure it is evenly mixed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and firmly tap the pan on the countertop a few times to release any large air bubbles. Bake the cake until golden and puffed, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Cool the cake, still in the pan, on a rack for 15 minutes, then use the tip of a knife to loosen the edges and carefully invert it onto the rack to cool completely.
  • Make the frosting: Add the cream cheese and butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high until smooth. Turn the speed to low and slowly add the confectioner's sugar, mix until the sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer up to medium-high and whip until smooth. Add the molasses, lemon juice, vanilla and pinch of salt, and whip until smooth.
  • Invert the cooled cake to a serving platter, frost and serve. Alternately, you can also frost and serve this cake in the pan it was baked in, if you'd rather not transfer it to a serving platter.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h55m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 14

2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup (from 15-oz can) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 to 4 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup butter (do not use margarine or spread; it will burn)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, 3/4 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until well blended. Beat in pumpkin and eggs until well mixed. On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  • On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by heaping tablespoonfuls.
  • Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, place powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3 tablespoons milk. In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/3 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until light brown.
  • Pour browned butter over powdered sugar mixture. Beat on low speed about 1 minute or until smooth. Gradually add just enough of the remaining 1 tablespoon milk to make frosting creamy and spreadable. Generously frost cooled cookies.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin purée. Not all pumpkin purées are created equal. For the best results, use a pumpkin purée that is made from 100% pumpkin, with no added sugar or spices.
  • Toast the meringue before serving. Toasting the meringue gives it a beautiful golden color and a slightly crispy texture. You can toast the meringue with a kitchen torch or in a preheated oven.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should be golden brown on top and the edges should be slightly pulling away from the sides of the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin and cookie butter sheet cake with toasted meringue is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for fall gatherings. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of pumpkin and cookie butter flavors. The toasted meringue is a beautiful and tasty finishing touch. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
