PUMPKIN TORTE



Pumpkin Torte image

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.

Provided by Melissa Clark

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 PECAN PRALINE TORTE RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Pumpkin Pecan Praline Torte Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by Suesee50

Number Of Ingredients 23

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs
1 1/3 cups Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
2 (8-ounces each) packages cream cheese
2 sticks butter, room temperature
2 pounds or 8 cups Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
PECAN PRALINE TOPPING:
1/2 cup Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a parchment cutout into each cake pan and brush paper and sides with melted butter or spray with baking spray. Sprinkle evenly with flour and shake out excess, set aside. Blend and sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt. Set aside. In a bowl large enough to hold all ingredients whisk egg using a hand held or stand mixer until well blended, add sugar and whip until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. On low speed add vanilla and pumpkin. Stir in flour and mix until just combined. Scoop and divide evenly into prepared pans. Place in oven and bake until the center of the cakes bounce back when lightly pressed with a finger or an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 13 to 15 minutes. For frosting mix cream cheese and soft butter on low speed until blended. Add one cup of powdered sugar and mix on low speed until blended. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar and mix on low to medium speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and mix well. In a saucepan bring all the ingredients to a boil excluding the pecans. Boil for 3 minutes ensuring that the mixture will not boil over. Remove from heat and stir in the pecans. Set aside. Remove parchment paper from one cake round and place cake on a serving platter. Frost the surface with approximately 1/3 inch cream cheese frosting. Remove parchment paper from second layer and place onto frosted cake round. Frost once again with cream cheese frosting. Remove parchment paper from third layer and place onto frosted cake round. If caramel topping is too firm to spread onto surface heat briefly until slightly softened. Do not allow to get warm! Spread onto surface of cake.

PUMPKIN TORTE



PUMPKIN TORTE image

Categories     Bake     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy

Yield Serves 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large can pumpkin pie filling
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
6 eggs
1 cup milk
1 tsp each of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt
1 large box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • Prepare torte by mixing pie filling, milk, sugar, eggs, milk, salt and spices. Spread in 9X13 greased, ovenproof pan. Prepare Topping by blending cake mix and butter and sprinkle on top of pumpkin mixture. Bake at 350 for about an hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Put in refrigerator and serve with whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin. Not all pumpkins are created equal. For the best results, choose a sugar pumpkin, also known as a pie pumpkin. These pumpkins are smaller and sweeter than other varieties, making them ideal for baking.
  • Roast the pumpkin ahead of time. Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree. You can roast the pumpkin a day or two ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
  • Use a food processor to puree the pumpkin. This will give you the smoothest puree possible.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the torte tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the torte in a water bath. This will help to prevent the torte from cracking.
  • Let the torte cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the torte to set.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin torte is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With its rich pumpkin flavor and creamy texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this pumpkin torte recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
