Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 18

nonstick cooking spray
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup bread flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 cup solid-pack pumpkin
½ cup sour cream
½ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
4 cups cooked pulled pork, heated
½ cup toasted pepitas
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup toasted chopped pecans
½ cup barbeque sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of 2 nonstick, 9-inch round baking pans with cooking spray.
  • Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until blended. Add pumpkin, sour cream, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour and evenly spoon equal portions of the batter mixture into the 2 prepared baking pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Place both over a wire cooling rack and let cool slightly, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove cornbread from pans and set aside.
  • Center one cornbread, top-side down, on a serving plate or platter. Spoon and evenly spread the warm pulled pork over top to cover, then carefully center the remaining cornbread on top.
  • Mix pepitas, cranberries, and pecans together in a small bowl. Spoon evenly over the top edges of the cornbread and add a little spoonful to the center. Cut the assembled torta into even slices and serve with barbeque sauce.
