Semit OT: Quick cake for gatherings

You can use fake eggs, and butter substitute.

There, now only half of California has an issue. ;)

G> Ginger, Ginger, Ginger. =A0What are we going to do with you?

Oh, good, Ginger. I thought maybe you had been watching too much of that crazy Paula on the food network. I think she probably puts a stick of butter on her morning bowl of cornflakes. Polly

"Ginger in CA" You can use fake eggs, and butter substitute.

Do you use a can of pumpkin pie mix (the kind that's ready to bake without any added ingredients)? I think that's what the 30 ounce cans are. It seems to me that you wouldn't need the milk, eggs, sugar, & spices. Or just use a can of plain pumpkin and mix with other ingredients as you would for pie filling. I've seen a number of variations on the recipe and they specify EITHER a 15 ounce can of pumpkin pie filling OR a can of pumpkin + ingredients to make a pie filling.

I was trying to stay with the spirit of the season and not comment about the fat/cholesterol going on in that cake. It is tough to have 4 eggs and that much butter in anything bad. LOL I think sometimes I could get a business going giving lectures in the waiting room of the cardiologist. Taria

And here is a more healthy (?) version courtesy of a google search just now

Ginger in Ca running off to the store now to try and beat the rain, then back home to quilt some. Easier to do shopping on a weekend in old shoes than after work in the dark and rain!

Howdy!

Ah, c'mon. Leave out the egg YOLKS, add a couple more egg whites, substitute applesauce for the butter, and the only thing left to worry about is all that damn' sugar. ;-D (see sugar substitutes elsewhere) Applesauce makes for a more moist texture to the cake and compliments the pumpkin. But what the 'ell: I ain't making or eating it anyway. ;->

Saving that space for Lebkuchen (obsessed).

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the wind is blowing like crazy! Sun is out, temps are pleasant (63F), but the wind is trying to knock me off the ladder. Christmas decorating can be a booger. Quilting's easier. ;-D

Cheers! R/Sandy - sure that many of us are eating our weight in M&Ms so what's a little Dump Cake between friends? 8->
