How To Make pumpkin football cakes
-
1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 24 5-ounce egg-shaped muffin cups; set aside.
-
2In a medium bowl stir together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
-
3In a large bowl combine eggs, pumpkin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil; whisk until smooth.
-
4Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture, one-third at a time, stirring just until combined after each addition.
-
5Spoon a scant 1/4 cup batter into each prepared muffin cup, filling each about half full*.
-
6Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly touched.
-
7Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
-
8Split cakes horizontally. If necessary, trim tops of cakes so they will sit flat when inverted.
-
9For Buttercream Frosting: In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
-
10Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of the powdered sugar, beating well.
-
11Beat in milk and vanilla.
-
12Gradually beat in enough of the remaining powder sugar to reach desired consistency.
-
13Spread frosting over one cake half; top with remaining half.
-
14Pipe "laces" on top. Repeat with remaining cakes.
-
15*Use any remaining batter to make cupcakes. Line 2 1/2-inch muffin cups with paper bake cups. Fill two-thirds full with batter. Bake in a 350 degrees F oven for 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
