I don't know why, but we failed to take any pictures at this year's Thanksgiving gathering. I and my cake were both lovely, I can assure you. The Millennium Cookbook's pumpkin cake recipe was a hit, at least for Per and I. It was a bit much for my family, with all the chocolate and sugar. If I was making it for just five people again, I'd half the recipe. It's so rich and fabulous that when it says "10 servings," they actually mean it. Gluten-free baking can tend to be a little bit dry, so the coffee sauce was a perfect addition. I made it a day ahead of time. Overnight it congealed a little bit. In the past I've been irritated at cinnamon for causing a mucousy consistency, but in the case of this sauce, it worked perfectly to the cake's advantage. And the cake itself would make a great informal addition to a coffee date. The batter was very quick and easy to make. The flavor is interesting enough to stand alone without the need for frosting. I highly recommend!
In the manner of a good housewife, the christmas decorations are up and the stockings are hung. We're going to Sweden this year, but we still have two and a half weeks to enjoy our home being all christmas-y.
That's all the updates I've got for now! Happy December everyone!
