CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN SPICE NUT CAKE

Steps:

• 1. For crunch crust, in a food processor pulse cookies to create crumbs. Then pulse nuts to a fine chop. Add in brown sugar and mix well. Add in melted butter and blend together.
• 2. Divide oreo/nut mixture into 4 9-inch cake coated cake pans, pressing into bottom and spreading it evenly into the cake pans. Set pans aside and begin cake. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
• 3. In your mixer beat sugar and butter for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy, scrapping down the bowl frequently. Add in pumpkin and all the rest of the ingredients, except the eggs. Mix just until blended.
• 4. Add in the eggs, one at a time just until blended.

NEW WORLD PUMPKIN SPICE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a standard Bundt cake pan with oil or butter, then dust flour on the greased inside of the pan. Fluted Bundt pans, especially, need a lot of grease for the cake to release.
• To make the cake, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, beat together the eggs and brown sugar with a whisk until light and fluffy. Add the vegetable oil and pumpkin puree and stir until smooth. Add half of the flour mixture and mix until it is absorbed. Then add the rest of the flour mixture followed by the vanilla, rum, cocoa nibs, and pecans. Switch to a rubber spatula to stir the mixture until smooth. Use the rubber spatula to scoop the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick or bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few crumbs, not batter. Allow the cake to cool in the pan to room temperature before inverting in onto a wire rack.
• To make the glaze, combine the chocolate, butter, milk, corn syrup, and salt in a stainless steel bowl over a saucepan of simmering water over medium heat and stir as the ingredients melt together. Pour the glaze over the cake after the cake has cooled to room temperature. You'll have extra glaze left over, which you can pour into the center of the cake or save to serve with plated slices.
