PUMPKIN PECAN CAKE WITH GINGER WHIPPED CREAM



Pumpkin Pecan Cake With Ginger Whipped Cream image

I made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! This cake is almost like gingerbread, with a firm texture and so fragrant; but the pumpkin flavor definitely comes through! This recipe is from Bon Appetit Magazine, November, 1990. It indicates 12 servings, but you can easily cut 16 - 18 slices. This cake is large, and you can freeze leftover slices. Allow yourself about 50 minutes to an hour for prep time.

Time 1h50m

Yield 16-18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup unsalted butter (2 Sticks)
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar, Firmly Packed
4 large eggs, Room Temperature
1 2/3 cups solid-pack canned pumpkin
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup unsulphured molasses
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 1/2 cups pecans, Coarsely Chopped and Toasted (about 6 ounces)
1/2 cup crystallized ginger, minced (I purchase crystallized ginger at our local food co-op.)
powdered sugar
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons dark rum
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

  • You will need: Non-stick Vegetable Oil Spray, about a tablespoon of butter, a 12-Cup Bundt/Tube Pan, and an Electric Mixer with 4-Quart Bowl.
  • Position rack in lowest third of oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Spray 12-cup tube pan with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Generously butter pan. Dust pan with flour; tap out excess.
  • For the SPICED CAKE, mix 3 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and spices in medium bowl.
  • Using electric mixer, cream butter with both sugars in large bowl until very light and fluffy. (I used my electric stand mixer with a 4-quart glass bowl).
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Beat in pumpkin, sour cream, molasses and rum.
  • Mix in dry ingredients, toasted pecans and minced crystallized ginger. (I added the pecans at the very end, hand-stirring them in.).
  • Pour batter into prepared pan, gently spreading evenly towards sides and around center. Batter will be thick.
  • Bake until tester inserted near center of cake comes out clean, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Cool cake 15 minutes in pan on rack. Turn cake out onto rack and cool completely. Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. (Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature.).
  • Sift powdered sugar over top of cake. Serve with Ginger Whipped Cream.
  • For the GINGER WHIPPED CREAM, use electric mixer, beat whipping cream, sour cream and 2 tablespoons sugar in large bowl to soft peaks.
  • Add rum and ground ginger and beat until almost stiff. (Can be prepared 5 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.).
  • Hint #1: Toasting Nuts: I used a non-stick skillet. Turn on heat medium-high until pan is hot. Spread chopped pecans in single layer in pan and heat until their fragrance releases and they start to turn golden and brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
