Here's a step-by-step recipe for making a delicious fried pumpkin layer cake with cream cheese and orange frosting:
Ingredients:
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
* 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
* 3 large eggs
* 1 can (15 oz) pure pumpkin puree
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 and 1/2 cups milk
* Vegetable oil, for frying
* Powdered sugar, for dusting
For the orange frosting:
* 8 oz cream cheese, softened
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 4 cups powdered sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Orange zest and juice
Instructions:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and milk. Gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
3. Heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) in a large saucepan or deep fryer. Once hot, carefully dip batter into the oil to create pumpkin pancakes. Fry on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and juice until smooth and creamy.
5. Once the pumpkin pancakes have cooled completely, layer them with frosting in between. Dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and decoration. Serve and enjoy!
