Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 4 whole egg yolks (save the whites from two of the eggs)
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered confectioners sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup pumpkin (canned)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (sifted.)
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter an 8 x 8 cake pan and line with parchment paper, set aside.
  • Melt the butter and set aside.
  • Beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar until pale and light, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Mix in the melted butter and combine.
  • Add the flour mixing well to break down any lumps. Beat in the milk and vanilla.
  • Add the pumpkin, pumpkin spice and cinnamon and whisk until smooth.
  • In another bowl whip the two egg whites until stiff peaks.
  • Slowly add the egg whites whisking gently until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Set the pan on a baking tray and bake for about 50-60 minutes. The top will still be a little jiggly but will set upon cooling.
  • Cool completely before slicing into small squares and drizzling with the spice glaze.
  • Combine the powdered sugar, pie spice and milk in a bowl and mix together with a fork.
  • Place in the microwave and warm for 20-25 seconds until it becomes a thin pourable consistency.
  • Drizzle the icing over each square and serve.
