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

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Make Honey Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk butter, cream cheese, and honey until smooth.
5. 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).

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!
