With some leftover pumpkin in the fridge, and a cold blustery day, I had a craving for a comfort dessert. I have recipes for chocolate and vanilla puddings that you make by pouring water over the top to make a sauce, and I thought, why couldn’t you make something like that with pumpkin. So I searched around and found a recipe which I modified as follows. It hit the spot!

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup boiling water

Directions

1. Cream 1/2 cup butter and 1/3 cup brown sugar together. Beat in egg and pumpkin.
2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and spices. Add to creamed mixture.
3. Pour into greased 8 inch square baking dish (or similar size).
4. Sprinkle 1 cup brown sugar over batter. Dot with 1 tablespoon butter.
5. Mix orange juice and boiling water together, and pour evenly over batter.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40-50 minutes.
7. Serve warm. Makes 6 servings.

Note

During baking the ingredients placed on top of the batter move to the bottom to create a sauce under the cake-like pudding.
