Pumpkin Pie Cake



Today orders were to buy a pumpkin pie. One slice seemed too little and  a whole pie too big. And that led me to but the 29 oz pumpkin can.  So many things that can be done with canned pumpkin other than a pie.

Pumpkin pie sheet cake is a nice way of skipping the crust but it does add a layer of cake. Any complaints? But your pumpkin pie filling remains intact. There was another similar recipe that sounded very nice. It said sprinkle the dry cake mix. I would have loved to see what happens in the case, but the instructions are not well written.

In making the Pumpkin Pie cake, with 29 oz of canned pumpkin, I used only 1 can of evaporated milk, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs and a little more baking time. The filling didnt set too well with my experiment but I liked the trio layers of pie crust, topped with cake, topped with pumpkin pie filling.

While looking for pumpkins for a book on when canned pumpkin began, I came upon Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
