Bundt Pumpkin Cake

15 years ago

I found this while browsing - I thought it was very clever.

I think you can get around 12 slices from a Bundt cake - this is an easy way to get 24!

I read where one woman said she had mini-Bundt pans for smaller versions.

You could also frost the whole thing.

Jim

Directions:

1. Bake a bundt cake and then bake another in the same pan (unless you have two identical pans, bake both at the same time). Make sure to spray pan with non-stick baking spray. I like BakerÂs Joy with flour.

2. Make sure bottom sides are flat; you may need to cut them down.

3. When cakes are cool, frost flat sides together in the middle with a butter cream like frosting. Stuff the center with the same frosting used to frost the two cakes together.

4. Insert a real pumpkin stem into the center hole stuffed with frosting.

5. Glaze the pumpkin on the outside and youÂre done!

Note: Cake recipe for this cake was the DevilÂs Food cake recipe on the back of the Soft Silk Cake Flour box. Box-type cake mixes can also be used. The glaze recipe came from the Betty Crocker Cook Book.

A little Bundt Pan history... The cast-iron kugelhupf pan is common in Europe and in 1950, a group of Minneapolis women asked Nordic Products owner H. David Dalquist to make an aluminum version of the pan. Ten years later, the new Good Housekeeping Cookbook showed a pound cake baked in one, and suddenly every woman wanted a Bundt Pan. The 1966 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest was won with the "Tunnel of Fudge Cake". If you would like that recipe, I'll be happy to post it. In 1972 the grand prize winner in the Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest was a Bundt Streusel Spice Cake and 11 top winners also called for a bundt pan. I'll see if I have that booklet in my collection. So the Bundt cake pan is a newcomer in kitchens with more than forty million pans in existence in America. Generally, cakes that have too much sugar in them to have good structure are used in recipes using a tube or Bundt pan. Which is different from a standard cake. I located a few recipes at King Arthur (see link below). -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: Bundt Cake Recipes - King Arthur Flour

Beanthere - I ordered three! I got the Charlotte instead of the Classic though. They are so different, I had to have them all. Merry Christmas to me? The descriptions all say 12 cup capacity. And instawares had the lowest prices and free shipping, so I think I got a great deal. $75.41 total. http://www.instawares.com/bundform-charlotte-9-12.kaf-630335.0.7.htm Thank you, Alice! I'm not a big chocolate lover, so Tunnel of Fudge doesn't call out to me, but I found some great recipes at Allrecipes and Recipezaar. I have to bring desserts to work and the bar we shoot pool at a few times a year, plus we have a lot of dinner parties - so these will make it easy! And easy to transport! I usually make crack candy or bourbon balls, this will be so much easier. And I'm going to try a meatloaf in it! Dressing will be so pretty too. Let's see, what else takes to forms.....

If you like moist, rich, almost-custardy, almost-black foresty chocolatey cakes with cherries, here's a winner: CHOCOLATE-CHERRY MASCARPONE BUNDT CAKE Serves 16 Ingredients 2 sticks butter 1/2 cup cocoa 3/4 cup water 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup mascarpone cheese 1 Tbs vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 can cherry pie filling Glaze 3/4 cup chocolate chips 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup good dark brewed coffee 1/4 cup light corn syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract Directions Grease and flour a 10-12 cup Bundt pan. Heat oven to 350Â°F. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add cocoa, stirring until smooth. Whisk in the water and remove from heat. To the warm cocoa mixture, add the sugar, mascarpone, vanilla and eggs. Whisk until smooth. In another bowl combine the flour, soda and salt. Add all at once to the first mixture, whisking until well blended. Stir in one can of cherry pie filling. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until it feels firm to the touch and has slightly pulled away from the sides of the pan. Cool in pan on a rack for 20 minutes. Carefully loosen the cake with a knife and invert onto a large plate. While it is cooling, warm the milk/cream, coffee and corn syrup on medium heat until it boils. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit until chocolate melts. Whisk until smooth. Let cool to room temperature and then spoon over the cooled cake. If too thick, thin with a little more cream. Joe

One bundt pan 2 cakes
Q

If the batter is mixed up and is enough for two cakes at once, you really MUST make and bake immediately due to the type of chemical leavening. Once the leavening ingredients (soda, baking powder) have been activated with the liquid ingredients, they need to be baked immediately for the best results. That's why ovens need to be preheated - you never want any type of recipe that is leavened with chemical leavening waiting for the oven to heat. The leavening is activated twice, once when it's mixed with the liquid, and the second time when it hits the heat from the oven. You won't want half the batter to wait in the bowl while one cake finishes baking or the "umph" from the leavening ingredients will diminish and the cakes will be different sizes. Secondary point: If it's important for the cakes to be very close to the same size, it would be important to have two identical pans and to weigh the batter in both pans when you fill them to assure they have the same amount of batter in both. This will also help them to bake evenly at the same time in the oven. Last point: If you can mix the batter for each cake separately, then it wouldn't matter. Just make the first cake and place it to cool on a rack. Wait for the pan to cool, wash and dry thoroughly, and make and bake the second cake. -Grainlady

I made these a couple of years ago and the last year I found some small bundt pans to make some... I made it with my pumpkin bread recipe.... the kids loved them! for the big cakes...I drizzled orange colored butter cream icing and used a icecream cones for the stem... dipped them in green icing... I also cut out leaves with my cookie cutters using green fruit roll ups... I wish I took a pic of them... but they didn't last enough to take one...lol..

I saw a recipe for the smaller version in the Sept/Oct issue of Southern Lady magazine and bought the magazine so I could make them. They use a pumpkin recipe, cinnamon sticks for the stem, and drizzle Orange Cream Cheese Icing over it.
My daughter was with me and kept saying "No Mom, you can't buy another magazine" until I showed her the recipe. The deal was-I can buy the magazine IF I make the pumpkins for her!
I inherited about 2000 magazines from my sister, plus all of the magazines I've bought over the years, as well as all of my subscriptions. Thats why she was trying to keep me from buying another one! But, the pumpkins won her over!

Betty you must have had so much fun going through all your sister's magazines! I love to do that, I have kept lots of my old craft mags and at least once a year or more I pull some out and look through them.

Missy, what a great idea to use the fruit rollups for leaves. I'll have to remember that idea.

kathleen, where did you find that pan? I need one! I'm attempting to make the pumpkin cake with my bundt pans right now...we'll see if I can make it pretty enough to put in on the menu for our Halloween party--if not, it'll be a delicious experiment for us tonight!

LOL, Fairytale, you NEED it?? It is a Wilton Dimension pan, so you can google it. I got mine at ACMoore for 20.00..Michaels carries Wilton as does Joanns. I don't know where you are from, so I don't know what stores you have.
But since it is a Wilton Pan, you should be able to find it.
When I make them I will post a pic. I will put them on my Lenox Pumpkin cake stand so we are staying on topic!! LOL
Karen is the food police lady here!! :)

And welcome...stick around and post!

Whoa....I just caught that part about me being the Food Police. LOL. I'm not the only one here who thinks your food fotos are fattening, Mz Kathleen. You're just darn lucky none of us live near you, or we'd be there constantly begging for leftovers and hand-outs (if not formal dinner invitations!). So we just sit here and inhale invisible calories and drool on our keyboards. How sad. LOL

kathleen,

Thanks for the welcome! I've been calling all over town for that Wilton pan with the pumpkin molds. You laughed at my "NEED" for it...I'm a little pumpkin/fall/halloween obsessed.

I'll try to post some pictures soon--wish me luck on finding the pan!

There are also some on eBay for a Buy It Now price.
Around $22 plus the $10 shipping. All the ones I saw online were running $30 plus shipping, so ebay has the better deals. And these are NEW pans of course. I saw a couple of sellers with them but prices all about the same as the one I've linked to.

Thanks, Jim, for a marvelous idea! And here I was proud of myself for making pumpkin muffins to bring to a funeral luncheon yesterday. I was actually "test driving" a pumpkin bread recipe I got on line that I'm planning to make for Thanksgiving. They turned out well. It may have helped that I used my new silicone muffin "tin". (First try with silicone.) But your creation takes the cake!
