Yield of Recipe: 12 Slices 2013 4-H BAKE-OFF Page | 13 Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Mackenzie Henderson Country Living, October 2007 Levy Life Learners, Intermediates Ingredients Batter: 1 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour 2/3 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder 2 Teaspoon baking powder 1 Teaspoon salt 1/2 Cup buttermilk 1 Cup canned pumpkin 2 Teaspoons pure vanilla extract 3/4 Cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 Cup granulated sugar 1 Cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 3 Large eggs 1 Large egg yolk Spice Cocoa Frosting: 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 2 1/4 Cups confectioners’ (powdered) sugar, divided 2 1/4 Teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/4 Teaspoon ground cinnamon 3/4 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 Cups whipping (heavy) cream 1/4 Teaspoon orange food color Chocolate Glaze: 4 Ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter 1/2 Cup whipping (heavy) cream 3 Tablespoons light corn syrup 2013 4-H BAKE-OFF Page | 14 Chocolate Pumpkin Cake - Continued Country Living, October 2007 Mackenzie Henderson Levy Life Learners, Intermediates Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare two 8 inch round layer cake pans; lightly grease the bottom and sides of the pans with shortening and dust with flour. Tip: to make baked cake easier to remove from pan, lightly grease the pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, and then lightly grease the top of the parchment paper and dust the pan with flour. Batter: 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; sift or whisk together to mix. Set aside. 2. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk, pumpkin and vanilla; stir together. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Tip: To cream, start by placing the butter in the bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed begin by beating the butter about 1 minute until it is smooth and light in color. With the mixer still on medium speed, slowly add the granulated sugar to the butter, either one tablespoon at a time, or in a very slow steady stream, taking from 4 to 5 minutes to add all of the sugar, then add the brown sugar, taking an additional 3 to 4 minutes, beating until the butter and sugar are fully incorporated and the mixture is a light, or pale yellow color, with a fluffy texture. While adding the sugars, stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the mixture off the paddle and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture blends evenly. 4. Add eggs and egg yolk one at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed. Tip: For each egg, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk with a fork to thoroughly break up the egg before adding to the creamed mixture. Start with the mixer on low speed so the liquid from the egg doesn’t splatter, once the egg is partially mixed increase the speed to medium. Each egg should be fully incorporated into the mixture before adding the next egg, taking about one minute to blend in each egg. 5. With the mixer on low speed, add about one third of the flour mixture, mix just until the flour is almost completely blended. Scrape the bowl down, and add about one half of the buttermilk mixture, blending just until mixed. Scrape the bowl down again and continue alternating with the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture, ending with the last portion of the flour, and stirring just until blended. 6. Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the surface with the back of a large spoon. Bake 35 minutes or until a long toothpick, wooden skewer, or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and place pans on a wire cooling rack to cool for 10-15 minutes then remove cake from the pans and place the cake on the wire cooling rack to finish cooling. 2013 4-H BAKE-OFF Page | 15 Chocolate Pumpkin Cake - Continued Country Living, October 2007 Mackenzie Henderson Levy Life Learners, Intermediates Spice Cocoa Frosting: 1. In a medium size bowl, add the 6 ounces of cream cheese, beat with an electric hand mixer or wooden spoon until smooth and fluffy. Add 1 1/2 powdered sugar, cocoa, cinnamon, and vanilla; beat until well mixed. 2. In another medium bowl, using an electric mixer with clean beaters, beat the whipping cream until soft mounds form; add 3/4 cup powdered sugar and orange food coloring, continue beating until thick and stiff. 3. Using a balloon type whisk or large rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. 4. Place one cooled cake layer on a cake plate. Use an offset spatula to spread about 1 1/2 cups frosting over the top. Top with the remaining cake layer and use the remaining frosting for the top and sides of cake. Spread the frosting as smooth as possible over the top and sides. 5. Refrigerate the cake at least one hour to stabilize the whipped cream before glazing. Chocolate Glaze: 1. Place the chopped chocolates and butter in a medium bowl. Set aside. 2. In a small heavy saucepan over medium low heat, heat the cream until it is hot and just beginning to steam. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate, stirring until the chocolate and butter is completely melted. Add corn syrup, stirring until completely mixed. 3. Pour the chocolate mixture into a pitcher, or liquid measuring cup with a pouring spout and let chocolate glaze cool for 10 minutes. Do not let the glaze sit longer than 10 minutes because it will thicken and become difficult to pour over the cake. 4. Slowly pour the glaze over the cake. Cover the top of the cake entirely, letting some of the glaze drizzle down the sides, and allowing some of the frosting to show through the drizzles around the side of the cake. Tip: If the glaze doesn’t flow easily it means it has cooled and thickened too much. Either slightly reheat the glaze in a saucepan over low heat, or add an extra one or two tablespoons of corn syrup. 5. Refrigerate the cake until the glaze is set and the frosting is firm, at least one hour. 6. To serve, slice the cake with a long serrated knife, cleaning the knife between each slice. Refrigerate leftovers.

Preheat oven to 350°F (static) or 325°F (convection). Spray Bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and dust entire surface lightly with gluten free all-purpose flour. 2. Whisk together the flour, powdered milk, baking powder and salt and set aside (or pour cake mix into large bowl). 3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar and beat well with your mixer’s paddle attachment, until the mixture is very light and fluffy (approximately 3-4 minutes). Add the eggs next, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla with the last egg addition. Slowly add the milk, alternating with the flour mixture and beating in between the additions. Beat until smooth and pour into the prepared pans. 4. Pour half of the batter into the Bundt pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and then squeeze chocolate syrup around in a ribbon design to cover much of the surface of the batter. Add more or less of these chocolate ingredients depending on how much chocolate and bake for 45 minutes. 5. To test the cake for doneness, insert a cake tester or toothpick in the middle and be sure it comes out clean, with very few crumbs attached. The cake will also begin to pull away slightly from the side of the pan. Add time if necessary to fully bake the cake. 6. When done, turn off the oven and leave the oven door open to let the cake cool slowly there for 5 minutes or so, then remove to a wire rack. After 15-20 minutes of total cooling time, gently invert the cake to remove it from the pan, then flip gently back onto the cooling rack until fully cooled. Directions for Frosting: 1. Over medium heat, stir to combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a small saucepan. Continue whisking together until the mixture bubbles and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat immediately (the mixture may start to brown, but do not allow it to cook to dark brown or to burn). 2. Combine egg whites and vanilla in a mixer bowl. Slowly stir in the hot, cooked sugar mixture with beaters on low. Increase mixer speed too high for 6 minutes, or until the frosting has whipped to stiff peaks when tested with a rubber spatula. 3. Frost cake with a thick layer of marshmallow frosting, swirling designs using an off-set spatula for added decoration 4. Crush gluten-free graham crackers and sprinkle on top of frosted cake, if desired.
