Pumpkin Torte

It’s that time of year: pumpkins and mums, apples and spices. Time for pumpkin desserts! Dave and I were served this delightful pumpkin dessert when we visited folks in Eureka, Nevada. Marian brought it to her sister’s house for lunch, and I had to have the recipe.

It came from her family cookbook, so I don’t know who really gets the credit. She graciously gave me the recipe.

Then, of course, I had to make it.  I started by just doing the first two layers, and then put it in the refrigerator.  I was going to be out of town, so I needed to have less to do when I got back. A few days later, I did the additional top layers. It worked well for me and for my schedule.

. Both old and young alike enjoyed the dessert. I’m sure you will, too!
