Pumpkin Roll a Polly Cake
Ingredients:
Cake:
3/4 cup cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
6 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup golden brown sugar, packed
2/3 cup canned pumpkin, packed
1/8 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar

Filling: 


1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 cup whipping cream, chilled
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
6 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup English toffee pieces for garnish
Additional powdered sugar, for garnish
1 1/2 cups purchased caramel sauce, warmed, for garnish

Directions:

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Line a 15 by 10 by 1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment with nonstick cooking spray.

Sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice into a small bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until very thick. Add the pumpkin to the egg mixture and combine at a low speed until incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and beat at a low speed until mixed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cake batter, stirring with a spatula, until most of the white streaks are gone.

Spread the batter onto a baking sheet and smooth out. Transfer baking sheet to the oven and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 15 to 18 minutes. While the cake is hot, dust generously with powdered sugar. Loosen the edges and turn the cake out onto a kitchen towel. Fold the towel over the edge of the cake and roll up. Cool completely, edge down, for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

For the filling: Soften the gelatin in the rum. Stir over low heat until the gelatin dissolves. Cool. Beat the chilled whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large bowl until peaks form. Fold in the gelatin and 6 tablespoons English toffee pieces.

To assemble, unroll the cake and sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of English toffee pieces. Spread the filling over the toffee. Start at 1 long side of the cake roll and, using the towel as an aid, roll up the cake to encase the filling. Place the cake, seam side down, on a platter.

Trim the ends of the cake at a slight diagonal. Dust the cake with powdered sugar. Spoon some warm caramel sauce and the remaining toffee chips over the top of the cake. To serve, use a serrated knife to cut the cake crosswise into 1-inch thick slices. Drizzle more sauce on each slice and serve.

This is a very simple pumkin pie recipe using fresh pumpkin.  It is our family favorite and I always get asked to make it from October till December.  This recipe works best with the Vita-Mix machine as it blends so well there are no pumpkin strings.  The pie is the best when allowed to sit overnight at room temperature.  The flavors and texture are scrumptious.  Jennifer Scott

Filling:

2 eggs

3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/2 sugar pumpkin, cooked and cooled

1/3 cup heavy cream

Raquel's Pumpkin Crunch Cake

(Its always a request and a Hit during the holidays...Its really simple and everyone will think you bought it at a bakery or you went to a baking school.)

Ingredients

1-29oz can of Pumpkin Mix

1 cup of granulated sugar

2 tsp of Pumpkin Spice

1/2 tsp nutmeg

3 eggs

1-12oz can of evaporated milk

1 Tsp of salt

2 sticks of butter (melted) or 1 cup

1 cup of chopped nuts (slivered almonds/pecans or walnuts)

1 box of Yellow Cake Mix (not prepared, break lumps while in bag)

Frosting:

1  8oz cream cheese

1 tub of Cool Whip

1/2 cup of powdered sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven at 350

Line a 9x13 baking pan with wax paper.   Spray sides with non-stick spray.  Mix pumpkin mix, eggs, pumpkin spice, nutmeg, sugar, cinnamon and evaporated milk in large bowl with mixer.  When finished pour mixture into pan.  Next, take the yellow box of cake mix and spread evenly over top or mixture.  Now spread chopped nuts evenly as well across entire cake.  Take your cup of melted butter and trickle evenly over cake. Bake cake for 1 hour at 350 or until top of nuts are golden brown, and cake has risen slightly.    Cool, and turn over onto a flat cookie sheet.   Peel off wax paper and frost. Yummy, Yummy

Frosting:

While cake is baking prepare the frosting.  Combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and cool whip together. A Kitchen Aid works well for this (saves a lot of elbow grease.) Beat the mixture until you have high peaks. Store in refrigerator until ready for use.

Al you need is spice cake mix, pumpkin in the regular size can, and 2 eggs. Bake to the directions on the box. But remember, only eggs, do not use oil or water also. I like to add cinnamon sugar to a white cake frosting on my pumpkin spice cake. But you can also melt caramel and drizzle over a cooled cake.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Spiced Cream Cheese Icing

 

Cupcakes: 

1 box spice cake mix ( I prefer Duncan Hines)

1 ¼ c. water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 15 ounce can pumpkin puree

1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

 

Preheat over to 350 degrees.  Prepare cake mix a directed on the box.  Mix in the pumpkin puree, then the chocolate chips.  Pour into cupcake liners in a muffin pan.  For standard sized cupcakes, bake 16-21 minutes, for miniature cupcakes, bake 15-20 minutes.  Bake until cupcakes spring back when lightly touched.  (The testing with a toothpick trick doesn’t work well because you’re likely to pierce a chocolate chip and have a “dirty” toothpick!)  Remove from oven and cool completely before icing.

 

Icing:

1 pound cream cheese (two 8 ounce packages)

¼ - ½ cup heavy whipping cream (depending on preferred consistency of icing)

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

¼ tsp salt

4-6 cups powdered sugar (depending on preferred consistency of icing)

 

Whip cream cheese and whipping cream until thoroughly combined.  Add cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt.  Slowly add powdered sugar, one cup at a time and mix on low until incorporated.  If the icing is too thick, add a SMALL amount of whipping cream (1 teaspoon at a time) and mix well on low until it reaches spreading consistency.  Smooth onto cupcakes with a knife or spatula. Alternatively, use a ziptop bag with one corner cut off, and insert a decorating tip (I recommend 1M – available at craft supply stores) and put icing into bag.  Squeeze bag and move it in a circular motion to make spirals on the top of the cupcakes.  Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, candy corn or a candy pumpkin.

6 Eggs

2 1/2 cups pumpkin (I used canned but fresh could be used)

1 can of evaporated milk (I use fat-free to cut calories)

1/4 tsp. each of cloves, ginger, and nutmeg ; 1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (I use 2 1/4 tsp. pumpkin spice seasoning to make it easier); 1 tsp. salt.

1 stick of butter;  1 box of yellow cake mix.

Lightly beat the eggs, pumpkin, evaporated milk and the spices together until blended and pour into 9x13 pan.  

Blend the butter and cake mix together until crumbly.  Sprinkle evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture.

Bake at 350 for 60 minutes.  To test for doneness insert a knife into the center and it should come out clean.

Best served warm topped with whipped cream!
