PUMPKIN SPICE CHOCOLATES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk pumpkin, eggs, and milk together.Grate frozen butter on the large holes of a box grater. (I like to do this with a sheet of waxed paper underneath.) Add grated butter to the flour mixture and toss gently. Toss in chocolate chips.Fold in pumpkin mixture until a dough forms. (Don’t overwork the dough here. It’s ok if a little of the flour still shows.) Divide dough in half and dump out on a flour-coated surface. Knead a couple of times if needed, and form each half into a 6-inch circle. Place the circles onto the prepared cookie sheet. Use a bench scraper to divide each circle into 6 triangles. Gently move the triangles out just a bit, so each one has a little bit of space.Bake for 22 minutes, or until done. Remove to a wire rack to cool. Make the glaze. Beat the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon together until smooth. Spoon over warm or room temperature scones.

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8-to 10-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray; set aside.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg together into a medium bowl; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together pumpkin, sugar, and eggs on medium speed. With the mixer running, slowly add oil. Add flour mixture and chocolate chips; mix on low speed until just combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and transfer to oven. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 70 to 80 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes before inverting cake onto rack or serving plate.
• Make the creme fraiche glaze: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together creme fraiche and 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar until smooth. Add more confectioners' sugar as necessary to reach desired thickness. Drizzle glaze over cake and serve.
