Pumpkinswirlbars Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Brush bottom and sides of an 8-by-12-inch cake pan with butter. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Brush parchment with butter.
• Whisk together flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, baking powder, and baking soda; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree and milk; set aside
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, and beat until combined. On low speed add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of pumpkin mixture, and beating until just combined after each.
• Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth top with spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make Frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, and pinch of salt until light and creamy, 2 minutes. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, beating until incorporated.
• Assemble: Unmold cake. Using an offset spatula, spread icing over top of cake. Cut into 12 bars.

Steps:

• In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar until smooth.
• Beat in 2 eggs, pumpkin, and 1/3 cup water until well blended, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. In another bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and nutmeg; stir or beat into butter mixture until well blended.
• Spread batter evenly in a buttered and floured 10- by 15-inch baking pan.
• In a bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese, remaining egg, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until smooth.
• Drop cream cheese mixture in 24 evenly spaced 1-tablespoon portions over batter.
• Pull a knife tip through filling to swirl slightly into batter.
• Bake in a 350° oven until center of pumpkin batter (not cream cheese mixture) springs back when touched, about 30 minutes.
• Let cool completely in pan, then cut into 24 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare pan - either a 10x15 jelly roll (for bars) or a 9x13 (for cake). I like to line my pans with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, spice, baking powder and soda in a bowl. Set aside.
• In a mixer, combine sugar, brown sugar and softened butter. Add pumpkin, and then eggs and whites. Add flour mixture; mix well. Spread into prepared pan.
• Make cream cheese topping: blend cheese, 3 T. sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle across top of batter; then use a knife to zigzag through the batter and filling, creating a nice design.
• Bake according to your pan size: 10x15 pan 25-30 minutes, 9x13 pan 35 minutes. Test with a knife (better than a toothpick test) to make sure the bars are completely done and not under-baked. I watch for the cake to puff up all over, even creating little cracks on the top, as an indicator that it is thoroughly baked. Under-baked bars get gummy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Using an electric mixer at medium speed, combine the eggs, sugar, oil and pumpkin until light and fluffy.
• Stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda.

• Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool and cut into squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with nonstick spray. Place a 12-inch (30 cm) sheet of parchment paper in the baking dish crosswise to create a sling.
• In a food processor, pulse the gingersnap cookies until finely ground. Add to a large bowl with the melted butter and mix to combine. The cookie crumbs should look like wet sand.
• Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to the prepared baking dish and press against the bottom in an even layer. Place in the freezer while you make the filing.
• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and continue beating until fully combined. Add the flour and mix until just incorporated.
• Transfer 1 cup of the cheesecake batter to a small bowl and set aside.
• To the remaining batter, add the pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spice. Mix on medium speed until fully incorporated.
