175g sultanas
½ tsp salt
4 eggs, beaten
200g butter, melted

85g butter, softened

Beat the eggs into the melted butter, stir in the orange zest and juice, then mix with the dry ingredients till combined. Stir in the pumpkin. Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 30 mins, or until golden and springy to the touch.
  • To make the frosting, beat together the cheese, butter, icing sugar, orange zest and 1 tsp of the juice till smooth and creamy, then set aside in the fridge. When the cake is done, cool for 5 mins then turn it onto a cooling rack. Prick it all over with a skewer and drizzle with the rest of the orange juice while still warm. Leave to cool completely.
  • If you like, trim the edges of the cake. Give the frosting a quick beat to loosen, then, using a palette knife, spread over the top of the cake in peaks and swirls. If you're making the cake ahead, keep it in the fridge then take out as many pieces as you want 30 mins or so before serving. Will keep, covered, for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus 1 cup (2 sticks), melted, plus more for pans
3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for pans
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup canola oil
3/4 cup nonfat buttermilk
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
3 ounces gianduja or milk chocolate
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
7 ounces heavy cream
A few drops of orange liquid-paste food coloring
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
Chocolate Leaves for Pumpkin Cake

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter the inside of two 8-inch Bundt pans; dust lightly with cocoa powder.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine granulated sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, canola oil, buttermilk, and 3/4 cup milk. Slowly add egg mixture to sugar mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix batter on low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake cakes until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack, and cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pans.
  • Place both chocolates, heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter in a medium heat-proof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. Heat, stirring often, until chocolate is completely melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and let cool to room temperature. Whisk chocolate until lightened; set aside.
  • Using a serrated knife, trim the bottoms of both cakes so they are both flat. Spread chocolate evenly on the flat side of one of the cakes. Invert the remaining cake onto chocolate so that a pumpkin shape is formed. Place cake onto a wire rack.
  • To make orange butter glaze, combine remaining 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon of milk and the food coloring until the mixture is a pumpkin color; set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and 1 cup melted butter. Add reserved milk mixture, and continue whisking until smooth. Working quickly, carefully pour orange butter glaze over the cake, tilting the cake as necessary to coat all sides of the cake. Let glaze set completely before garnishing with chocolate leaves. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which have a sweeter flavor and are easier to work with than other varieties.
  • Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the pumpkin in the oven or in a slow cooker.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your cake the best flavor. If possible, use organic ingredients.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Accurate measurements are important for baking. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to test if the cake is done baking.

Conclusion:

Halloween pumpkin cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Halloween parties or gatherings. With its moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and cream cheese frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a Halloween dessert, give this pumpkin cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
