I found this recipe on Tamie's website. We tried it tonight and it was super yummy! It's not real sweet like cake is most of the time, it's just perfect.
Cake:
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. water
2/3 c. oil
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. flour
3/4 c. cocoa powder
Filling:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 c. canned pumpkin
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Glaze:
1/2 c. whipping cream
4 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
Prepare oven and pans: Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 9 x 1 1/2 inch round baking pans; set aside. (I used two torte pans). In a large bowl, combine buttermilk, water, oil, sugar, eggs, baking soda and salt. Using a wire whisk whisk until well combined. Add flour and cocoa powder; whisk vigorously until smooth. Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes until top springs back when lightly touched in center. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely. In a medium bowl whisk together cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar and cinnamon until thickened. Place one cake layer on plate. Spread filling over top. Top with second cake layer. In a saucepan bring whipping cream just to boiling over medium-high heat. Remove from heat. Add chocolate (do not stir). Let stand 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Cool 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Pour over cake, allowing glaze to drip down sides. Chill until set, about 30 minutes. Top with desired toppers.
**Instead of whipping cream I used 2 1/2 tablespoons butter and 6 tablespoon milk.
We ate this desert with our neighbors and the missionaries and it was a big hit. We love it and I wanted to share it with everyone. Enjoy!
