Ingredients:


1 1/4 cups sifted cake flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts

2 large eggs

3/4 cup light brown sugar -- firmly packed

3 ounces safflower oil

2 tablespoons walnut oil

1 cup pumpkin puree -- fresh or canned

---CHOCOLATE WALNUT DRIZZLE GLAZE---

1 ounce bittersweet chocolate

1 ounce milk chocolate

1 tablespoon walnut oil
 

Preparation / Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine the flour, soda, spices and walnuts. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and oils for 2-3 minutes or until very smooth. Add the pumpkin and beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture and beat until completely moistened. Scrape into a loaf pan or 6-cup Bundt pan (greased and floured). Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a rack, and then unmold onto the rack. Glaze: Melt the chocolates and oil in microwave, stirring every 15 seconds. Drizzle over cooled cake. Notes: I used dark loaf pan (8 x 4) and baked cake at 325 degrees. It took about 50 minutes to bake through. The cake recipe says not to double the cake and bake in a large pan--the edges will be overdone before the center cooks.
