    Pumpkin Trifle


    There's more to pumpkin than pie, as Hyla Lehenbauer points out with this impressive trifle. "It looks so elegant with alternating layers of gingerbread cake and pumpkin/butterscotch pudding," she writes from New London, Missouri. "Try making it ahead of time for a fuss-free dessert when you're planning to entertain guests."

    18 ServingsPrep: 1 hour + cooling

    Ingredients

    1 package (14-1/2 ounces) gingerbread cake mix

    1-1/4 cups water

    1 egg

    4 cups cold fat-free milk

    4 packages (1 ounce each) sugar-free instant butterscotch pudding mix

    1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin

    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger, nutmeg and allspice

    1 carton (12 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed

    Directions

    In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water and egg, beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into an ungreased 8-in. square baking pan.

    Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. When completely cooled, crumble the cake. Set aside 1/4 cup crumbs for garnish.

    In a large bowl, whisk milk and pudding mixes for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Stir in pumpkin and spices until well blended.

    In a trifle bowl or 3-1/2-qt. glass serving bowl, layer a fourth of the cake crumbs, half of the pumpkin mixture, a fourth of the cake crumbs and half of the whipped topping. Repeat layers. Garnish with

    reserved cake crumbs. Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.

    Yield: 18 servings.

    PEG’S NOTE: I wasn’t able to find the gingerbread cake mix at the time so found a recipe to make my own….here is the recipe.

     

    Gingerbread Cake


    "This dark moist cake combines the old-fashioned flavors of ginger and molasses," says Ila Alderman of Galax, Virginia. "The recipe was passed down to me from a dear aunt."

    9 ServingsPrep: 10 min. Bake: 30 min.

    Ingredients

    1/3 cup shortening

    1/2 cup sugar

    1 egg

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Whipped topping

    In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.

    Beat in egg. Combine the water and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with molasses mixture, beating well after each addition. Pour into a

    greased 8-in. square baking pan.
