Pumpkin Spice Cake with Honey Frosting Recipe by Martha Stewart
Everyday Food, November 2005
- Prep Time 25 minutes
- Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes
- Yield Serves 9
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin-pie spice (or 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/8 teaspoon each allspice and cloves)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin puree
For the Honey Frosting
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 bar (8 ounces) regular (or reduced-fat) cream cheese, very soft
- 1/4 cup honey
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin-pie spice. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, butter, and pumpkin puree until combined. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture, and mix gently until smooth.
- Turn batter into prepared pan, and smooth top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool cake 10 minutes in pan, then turn out of pan, and cool completely, right side up, on a rack.
- Make Honey Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk butter, cream cheese, and honey until smooth.
- Spread top of cooled cake with honey frosting. Cut cake into squares to serve.
Cook's Note
You can also use a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan: Increase baking time by 25 to 30 minutes (tent loaf with foil if it browns too quickly).View the video on http://www.marthastewart.com/339837/pumpkin-spice-cake-with-honey-frosting

GIVEAWAY!!!
There is one more day left for our Spooky Bar Towel giveaway. These towels are absolutely free. We pay for shipping. As I said before these were featured in the 2011 Pottery Barn catalogue and this year in the 2012 Pottery Barn catalogue. They have sold out both years! Last year I tried searching Ebay and the web and couldn't find any! I don't know if Pottery Barn will feature these again next year. It would be frightening if Pottery Barn doesn't carry this item again next year! The towels feature a CHEERS sign, a skeleton holding a glass and a bottle on one side only. The towel is large in size and made of %100 cotton. The label says Pottery Barn so please do not miss out. GREAT for Halloween parties.
-GOOD LUCK!

HALLOWEEN GIVEAWAY!
There is only 10 days left for our SPOOKY TOWEL GIVEAWAY. If you are planning a Halloween bash these are the perfect towels to have. Look at our Halloween debut last year at the bottom of this blog. The towels are shown above in this picture from Pottery Barn (on table). Last year I didn't get these towels in time before they sold out in the store. Pottery Barn has sold out of the towels this year as well. Lucky for you and me they came back this year. I didn't hesitate for a minute to buy me a set and I also thought about my viewers and purchased an extra set. I don't know if Pottery Barn will have these again next year, but it will be scary to find out. (Note: The towels portray a CHEERS sign and a skeleton holding a glass on one side of the towel only.)
Tips on getting ready for houseguests: Powder Rooms
...add a chair
....add a wastebasket
(Pottery Barn)
...have some fresh scented bar soap as an alternative to liquid soaps for a unique touch.
Monogrammed Guest Towels
Powder rooms are basically a room that consists of a toilet and a sink also known as half bathrooms in many homes because of the missing shower or bath. Powder rooms are usually located in an areas that are easy to access for house guests without traveling through an owner's personal spaces. In preparation for the holiday season make sure your powder room has a fresh coat of paint, is fully stocked with supplies as well as special touches for your guests such as monogrammed soaps, flowers, and guests towels.
