During pumpkin season, I mean “Fall,” pumpkins are not just used for carving, decorating and pumpkin pie any more. \u00a0The trending orange squash seems to make its way into all of our goods these days. \u00a0From coffee to candles, everything comes in a “pumpkin spice” variety. \u00a0This cake is no exception, yet it uses pumpkin in a bit more unexpected and modern way. \u00a0Let me introduce you to the Pumpkin Tiramisu Cake!<\/p>\n

One of the easiest ways to freshen up and revitalize a classic treat is by giving it a seasonal twist. \u00a0Not only did I take a dessert that is traditionally served more like a trifle and turn it into a layer cake, I’ve switched up a few of the flavors to make it more than appropriate for all the cold months and holidays ahead. \u00a0Most importantly, I swapped out the lady fingers for layers of delicious pumpkin cake – now that is a trend I’m sure everyone can get on board with.<\/p>\n

Traditional tiramisu or “pick me-up” is all about the booze, coffee, and creamy filling. \u00a0Sticking with the classic dessert-theme, I created a Heritage frosting (aka Ermine or Cooked-Flour) that still utilized tiramisu’s familiar mascarpone filling. \u00a0This type of frosting is creamy and fluffy – it still reminds me of the filling used in a regular tiramisu, yet not nearly as rich and without the eggs. \u00a0Instead of rum or marsala wine, the cakes were brushed with a soak made from coffee liqueur to better compliment the pumpkin flavor. \u00a0A shower of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder over the top makes this cake even more stunning and awe-worthy for the holidays.<\/p>\n
