Recipes

Pumpkin Rum Cake

Cake:

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
2 large eggs
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
2 cups pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, plus more for serving
3/4 cup boiling water

Rum Syrup:

2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup spiced rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple Whipped Cream, recipe follows, for serving
Maple Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon maple syrup

Special equipment: a 10-cup bundt cake pan
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan, shaking out the excess flour.
Stir together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and maple extracts and eggs in a separate bowl. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Next, add the boiling water and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk together until the flour is just mixed in. Slowly add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

For the rum syrup: Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar and 2 tablespoons water and bring to a boil; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Slowly and carefully, pour in the rum while stirring. Then stir in the vanilla. Set aside.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully, invert the cake onto a rack over a baking sheet. Poke the top and sides of the cake all over with a wooden skewer.
Pour half of the syrup into the base of the bundt pan. Gently return the cake to the pan. Using the same skewer, poke the bottom of the cake. Pour the remaining syrup over the cake and around the edges of the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely and soak up the syrup in the bundt pan, about 1 hour.
Once cooled, invert onto a serving platter. Slice and serve each piece with a dollop of Maple Whipped Cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

Maple Whipped Cream:
Add the cream and maple syrup to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Apple-Pumpkin Galette

For the crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup chopped pecans, plus more for sprinkling
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Cooking spray

For the filling:
1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk, plus 1 beaten egg for brushing
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of salt
2 crisp apples (such as Braeburn, Empire or Golden Delicious)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon apricot jam

Make the crust: Pulse the flour, pecans, granulated sugar, shortening and salt in a food processor until it looks like fine meal. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the egg and 1 tablespoon cold water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Turn out onto a piece of plastic wrap; use the plastic to help form the dough into a disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. (The dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.)
Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round between 2 sheets of floured parchment paper. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and coat with cooking spray. Gently peel off the top sheet of parchment covering the dough, then invert the dough onto the baking sheet. Peel off the top piece of parchment. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin, sour cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, the egg yolk, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Peel the apples and thinly slice. Transfer to a separate bowl and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the lemon juice.
Spread the pumpkin mixture over the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange the apples in concentric circles on top of the pumpkin mixture. Use the parchment to lift the edge of the dough and fold over the filling; pleat as needed. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before baking.

1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
One 15-ounce can pumpkin pie filling
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk (about 1 cup)
Pinch fine salt
2 cups cold heavy cream

Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Put a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan in the freezer to chill. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sprinkle the pie shell with the sugar and cinnamon and bake until the crust is golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Set aside to cool, then crumble.
Meanwhile, whisk together the pumpkin pie filling, condensed milk and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
Whip the cream with an electric mixer on medium-high until firm peaks form, about 2 minutes.

Pull-Apart Bread

1 tube Pillsbury Grands Biscuits
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 c. pumpkin purée
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Frosting

1/2 (4-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/4 c. milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a loaf pan.
Make the pull-apart bread: Cut biscuits in half, like you’re making a biscuit sandwich (or pulling apart those flaky layers while it’s still dough).
Pour sugar and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice into a gallon-sized plastic bag, shaking to combine. Drop the biscuit slices 2 to 3 at a time into the bag, sealing and shaking it to coat the biscuits, until all are covered. Set biscuits aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Use a butter knife to slather one biscuit. Top with another biscuit. Cover the top of that biscuit with the pumpkin mixture, and repeat the process until you’ve created a towering stack of the biscuits, almost like a massive sandwich or layer cake. (This may be easiest to break into two stacks of biscuits—otherwise they might topple.)
Place the biscuit stack in the loaf pan on its side so you see the layers of pumpkin filling. (It should look like Oreos when you pull them out of the package.) Bake in the oven until the biscuits have puffed up and turned lightly golden on top, 35 to 40 minutes.
Make the cream cheese frosting: Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice, mixing on low until combined. Gradually add milk, mixing until it’s a pourable consistency. Pour on top of warm pull-apart bread and serve.

Pumpkin Squares

1 18-ounce yellow cake mix
1 stick butter (or 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons)
1 beaten egg
1 16-ounce can plain pumpkin (not pie filling)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
1 5-ounce can evaporated milk

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Dump the cake mix in a bowl and use two knives or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mix until it is crumbly. Stir the beaten egg into the crumbs. Save 1 cup of this mixture to use as topping. Pat the rest of the crumbs into a 9x13-inch glass baking pan. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is set and just beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and cool 5 minutes.
Place the pumpkin in a mixing bowl. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, blending well. Whisk the sugar mixture into the pumpkin. Whisk in the two eggs and then the evaporated milk. Carefully pour this mixture on top of the partially baked crust. Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture. Bake about 30 minutes, until set in the middle.

To serve, cut into squares and top with sweetened whipped cream or non-dairy whipped topping. Pumpkin squares may be served warm or at room temperature.

Pumpkin Flan

1/3 cup sugar
5 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pumpkin purée (canned or fresh cooked)
1-1/2 cups whole milk


First, make a hot water bath for the flan by setting a 9-inch cake pan in a larger pan (like a roasting or broiler pan). Hold down the cake pan so it won't float, and add enough hot water to the larger pan to come three-quarters of the way up the outside of the cake pan. Then remove the cake pan and put the larger pan of water in a preheating 350°F oven while you mix the flan.
Melt the 1/3 cup sugar directly in the cake pan the flan will be baked in. To melt evenly, hold the pan securely (wear a good oven mitt or use tongs) over or just resting on a burner. Shake and tilt the pan, rather than stirring the sugar. Watch carefully. Once melted, the sugar will caramelize and begin to brown quickly. As soon as it turns golden brown, tilt the pan so that the entire surface is covered. Remove from heat. The caramel will harden and crack, but that's okay.

Beat together the eggs and the 3/4 cup sugar. Add the salt, water, cinnamon, vanilla, pumpkin and milk. Set the caramel-lined pan in the middle of the hot water pan in the oven. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the cake pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Test doneness by gently pushing custard in center with back of a spoon -- when done a crevice about 3/8 inch deep will form.

Carefully remove the flan from the hot water and chill at once. (As the flan cools, the caramel dissolves.) When cold, loosen custard edge with a knife, then cover pan with a rimmed serving plate. Holding plate in place, quickly invert. The flan will slowly slip free and the caramel sauce flow out. To serve, cut in wedges, spoon on sauce. Makes about 8 servings. From Texas Cooking Online
