A little happy was needed here...
However, it has been a lovely fall here in New Jersey. My heirloom dahlias are still blooming and kitty is enjoying the deck and the sunshine. One thing I could manage was comfort food during my malaise. Hey... I figured it would make me feel better...I'm convincing myself it worked! Note...I doubled the cake mixture...if you choose not too adjust pan size accordingly, you can also you a loaf pan.
Pumpkin Cheese Streusel Cake.
For the cake:
- 1 15 oz.can pumpkin pie filling
- 1/2 cup oil
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 brown sugar
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1 8 oz pkg. cream cheese softened
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 stick melted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup flour
- pinch of salt
Bake at 350 for about for about 50 min. While it is baking make your streusal topping again just mixing it all together. After 50 minutes remove cake from the oven and sprinkle the topping and cook for another 10 minutes. Keep checking as everyone's oven is different. So cook till a toothpick comes out clean when poked into the cake.
I also made some pillows for a bench at the foot of our drive. I got some outdoor fabric from Jo Ann's on sale. I love them!
I hope you are having a beautiful fall as well. Are you baking? What is your favorite fall baking treat ? Next post I have some projects to share. I am also working on a new crochet pattern to share for the holidays! I am loving it so far!
Be well,
Ming
Your son is funny. What spirit he has. Pumpkin and cream cheese? Y-u-m. I love streusel topping. I'm making those cream cheese, chocolate chip bars later today for our Sunday play date. It's easy and fast.
