A Lighter Pumpkin Cake

Today: Give the king of the fall a makeover with a lighter pumpkin cake (that just happens to be gluten-free), thanks to Alice Medrich. Pumpkin normally appears in rich pies or hearty cakes. But here, with rice flour and a hint of spice, it produces a moist, fluffy cake with subtle flavors. I’ve tasted it with every imaginable topping from frosting to whipped cream and candied nuts, only to find that a sprinkling of spiced sugar is the best topping of all: Everything else overwhelms the delicate flavor of the cake.

This recipe was inspired by, but does not appear in, my new book Flavor Flours (Artisan, 2014). Pumpkin Chiffon Cake Serves 10 to 12 See the full recipe (and save it and print it) here.

In this post, she is sharing an utterly gorgeous, rich, buttery, and decadent Brownie Butter Cake recipe, adapted from Kevin Chai’s “I love Butter Cake Too 2″ cookbook.

Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calendar that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. . – Jonathan Safran Foer | Everything is Illuminated Eleven weeks has this year been. Magically have the hours stretched into days, weeks, months. Time, that infallible, indefatigable soldier, marches on. But he is deaf, this cruel god. One, two, three months. The year began as a frenzy of tears, of dually joyous and grieving reunions, of family and love and support and then fell into a deep well of loneliness and numbness, of steely walls and wintry blues, of homesickness and exhaustion. Healing is not easy. We do not like to be changed. Yet what can I say? Things get better. There were times when I didn’t think it would get easier. Allowing it to get better.

I think it was lovely but feel free to omit it if you wish to. Also, my great-grandfather was known to always double the caramel almond topping.

Holler die Holunderblütensirup-Zitronenkuchen Fee! Rezept für eine saftige So...

In den letzten Jahren war ich leider immer weg, wenn unser Hollerbaum Blüten trug oder verschusselte den kurzen Zeitraum, um sie zu pflücken.

So easy and absolutely delicious! Today is the day, friends. The day we have been anxiously awaiting – our oldest daughter’s recital.
