PUMPKIN TORTE



Pumpkin Torte image

This is a traditional Thanksgiving recipe from my boyfriend's family. It is lighter and fluffier than pumpkin pie, and now I make it for our family every year. Be very careful pressing down the graham cracker crust, or it will come out much too hard; in fact you might not want to at all.

Time 2h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 cups powdered sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
¾ cup butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 6-inch round springform pans.

  • Cut rounded tops off of cooled cakes with a large, serrated bread knife so they are flat and even.
  • Combine powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Whip until there are absolutely no lumps; this may take up to 5 minutes. Set aside.

Tips:

  • To achieve a smooth and creamy filling, make sure to use high-quality cream cheese and whip it until it's completely smooth before adding the other ingredients.
  • For a more intense pumpkin flavor, use freshly roasted and pureed pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin puree.
  • To get a perfectly smooth and even layer of filling, spread it evenly over the crust and refrigerate it before adding the next layer.
  • To prevent the crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it before filling it.
  • For a more elegant presentation, use a piping bag to create decorative swirls of whipped cream on top of the torte.

With its creamy pumpkin filling, crunchy graham cracker crust, and whipped cream topping, this layered pumpkin torte is the perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a Thanksgiving feast or simply looking for a delicious treat to enjoy with friends and family, this torte is sure to be a hit.
