Watch as Better Homes and Gardens shows you this fall dessert--football-shaped pumpkin cake! This dessert recipe is not only a festive shape, but it's also perfect for satisfying those pumpkin cravings as the seasons change. Whip up a batch of these game day treats by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 12 egg-shaped muffin cups and set them aside. Mix together two cups of all-purpose flour, two teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves. Set this bowl aside. Lightly beat four eggs and add a 15-ounce can of pumpkin, 2/3 cup of packed brown sugar, 2/3 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/3 cup of vegetable oil. Whisk this creamy mixture together until it's smooth. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture, and stir thoroughly, mixing until it's all in one bowl. Spoon the batter halfway up each muffin cup, and bake until light and springy--about 20 minutes. Cool the cakes on wire racks, and trim the tops a little if they don't sit flat after cooling. Use a serrated knife to evenly split each cake in half horizontally. For the filling, beat 1/3 cup of softened butter and add 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar. Add three tablespoons of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar until the consistency is perfect for frosting--about 1 1/2 to two cups more. Spread the frosting over the bottom half of each cake, and place the other half back on top. Using a piping bag with a writing tip, carefully pipe football laces on top of each filled cake. These football pumpkin cakes are great for game day, but the taste carries throughout all of the holiday celebrations! It's an easy cake recipe that doubles as a festive fall treat.
