So moist! And it stays moist! The cake itself is not overly sweet, just right, so the sweet and creamy glaze is a delicious complement. This would also be good with cream cheese frosting. I'm planning to try this in a bundt pan when I get one! Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
1/3 cup applesauce |
3 eggs |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
2 cups pumpkin puree (a 15 oz. can is close) |
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour |
2/3 cup cocoa |
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1/2 teaspoon allspice |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter |
1/3 cup heavy cream |
2 tablespoons cocoa |
1 cup powdered sugar |
Directions:
1. Cream the butter and sugar. Stir in the applesauce, eggs, 1/3 cup cream and pumpkin.
2. In another bowl, combine the all the remaining dry ingredients. Stir into the pumpkin mixture just until combined.
3. Bake in a greased 9x13 pan at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool.
4. For the glaze, combine the butter, brown sugar, cream and cocoa in a heavy saucepan.
5. Cook and stir over moderate heat until sugar is dissolved.
6. Whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth; drizzle over cake immediately.
