I was planning to post the English biscuit cake recipe this week, however I have a few recipe requests for the pumpkin bar pic I posted on Facebook. It is a very simple recipe. You will need a box of yellow cake mix, a jar of pumpkin butter, some butter, eggs and a little bit flour and sugar. The most troublesome part was to have 2-3 bowls ready to prepare the layers, otherwise it's quite simple. I got this recipe a few year ago at the William Sonoma Store at Mall of America. They were doing a tasting of a new brand of pumpkin butter. I ended up making this every fall, the house smells so good while it is baking. This is a perfect fall treat!
This is not a traditional pumpkin bar. There is a soft cookie like layer on the bottom, the filling resemble pumpkin pie with a strudel topping. I use this recipe in the summer too. I can easily replace the pumpkin butter with mango butter. Fold in 1/4 cup of shredded coconut with the topping. You now have a tropical mango bar! Have fun and experiment! The house smells so good while it is baking in the oven!
Simple Strudel Pumpkin Bar
A box of yellow cake mix
1 jar Pumpkin butter
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
3 eggs
1/8 cup milk
1/2 stick (4 oz) softened butter
1 tbsp flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon powder
Direction
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray or grease a 13"x9" baking pan. Set aside
Remove 1 cup of cake mix and place in a small top to make a strudel topping later
Pour the reminding cake mix into a large bowl, add 1 egg
Slowly add in 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix well
The mix will be crumby. Pour the mix into the prepared pan
Press the mixture tightly into an even layer
In the same bowl, combine pumpkin butter, 2 eggs and 1/8 cup of milk
Whisk well, set aside
To make the strudel, combine the reserved 1 cup cake mix, with flour, sugar and cinnamon
Cut in 1/2 stick of the soften butter
You can use a pastry fork to combine the ingredient to resemble crumbs.
Pour the pumpkin mix on top of the cake mix layer, even out the filling.
Sprinkle the strudel topping evenly on top of the filling.
Bake for 35-40 min until golden brown
Remove from oven and let the bar cool for about 10-15 mins, cut into square and serve
Make 12-16 very generous serving
Enjoy
Aloha
