This post! The spiritual battle for most believers will be in your mind. The enemy gives you thoughts that make you lose faith in God! Don't believe it! Here is a fantastic example of that in: Are You Out of Your Mind? by Becoming His Tapestry.

Pumpkin Pie Shortbread Bars

Are you a pumpkin pie lover but sorta of meh on the crust. Then this might be a great solution for your pumpkin pie craving. Each year when I make pumpkin pie, I notice, as I am clearing the dishes, that the soggy crust of the pie doesn't get eaten. When I found this recipe, I thought it might be a nice solution to the problem. It has the traditional pumpkin pie custard but a buttery shortbread crust that pairs nicely with the custard.  

Shortbread Crust:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
pinch of salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter, chopped into chunks

Custard filling:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
3/4 cup evaporated milk

Maple Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 8" x 8" baking pan with baking spray.  Put flour, sugar, salt in a medium bowl and mix.  Add chunks of butter, and cut into with pastry blender till coarse crumbs.  Press into baking dish to create a flat bottom.  Bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned.  

Make pumpkin pie filling. In a small bowl whisk together sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves.  In a large bowl whisk together egg, pumpkin, and the sugar mixture.  Whisk in the evaporated milk.  Pour over the prepared shortbread crust.  Bake at 350° F. for 32-35 minutes. Cool completely. (Can put in fridge for 30 minutes.)  While bars are cooling make the maple cinnamon whipped topping. 

Mix whipped cream with a hand held mixer till has body then add sugar, cinnamon, and maple syrup and continue whipping till you get stiff peaks.  To serve place whip cream in a icing bag topped with desired piping tip and put a decorative dollop of whip cream onto of each dessert square.  
Serves:9-16

*Note:  This is richer than pumpkin pie due to the shortbread crust so, you can serve these as 1-inch squares to get 16 servings.  But, that is a really small dessert.  So you can get more like 9 out of the 8" square pan.  In the picture of the ones I made they are about 1 1/2 inch-squares.

Enjoy!

A Time of Thanksgiving

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."  Ecclesiastes 3:1

" All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ." Ephesians 1:3

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Psalm 107:1

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

That my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever! Psalm 30:12

There is a lot to be thankful for!

Orange Marmalade Cake

I am taking a step back in time today for tea.  I am having tea on my great-grandmother's Hoosier cupboard.  

This cupboard is perfect to serve a casual tea.  Hoosier cabinets were manufactured in the 1920's and they were made for storage and workspace in the kitchen.

My cake was adapted out of one of my favorite new cookbooks, Honey & Jam by Hannah Queen.  The recipe was Peach & Tomato Preserves Cake (pg.116).  I didn't make the preserves called for in the cake; I did make an orange marmalade topping, recipe follows.  This little butter cake is a winner!  It was so moist and delicious you would never make a boxed cake again. I also liked that for tea, it only made one 8-inch layer.  

Orange Marmalade Cake

For the cake:

1 1/2 cups (170 g) all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick/115 g) butter, room temperature

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

3 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk
Topping:

1/3 cup (80 g) orange marmalade 

4 tablespoons (30 g) confectioners sugar

1/2 tablespoon butter

Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175˚C).  Spray a 8-inch (20-cm) round cake pan with non-stick baking spray.

In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream the butter and the sugar, about 3 minutes.  Add the eggs one at a time scraping down the sides of the bowl after each egg.  Beat in the vanilla.  Add alternately the flour mixture and the milk to the mixer bowl, beginning and ending with the flour.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes.  After 10-15 minutes turn cake onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely.

For the marmalade topping:

Heat marmalade in a small pot over low heat until melted; whisk in confectioners sugar and 1/2 tablespoon butter until smooth.  Pour warm glaze over top of cake allowing some to drizzle down the sides. Cool before slicing.  

I actually served this cake a little warm and it was amazing!

Serves: 8

Recipe adapted from: Honey & Jam

The little teacup is by The English Tea Table. 

The teapot is by Johnson Brothers and the pattern is Blue Denmark. 
There is nothing cozier than baking with tea for fall!
