Mango Power Girl Strikes Again! Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Cake

This tart is festive and gorgeous- just perfect for holiday parties. I an envisioning a cake plate just stacked with tiny individual tartlet versions of this yummy recipe. I love the simplicity of the ingredients, and the rich pairing of chocolate and pumpkin. Four bonus megastars for transcending the dreaded "Pumpkin Pie Spice" and reaching for some sassy flavors on the spice rack.

A very nice (and nice-lookin') alternative! Or even better, serve it in ADDITION to pie. :-)

Thanks again Kiki I am hooked to Theo! In fact, I wanted to know if you have recommendations for what would be the best Theo chocolate to make a fudge?

Thanks Jessie Oleson too - gotta love the cakespy!

Pheeling the lurrrrrve! Tis the fudging season and I picked the brain of Miss Autumn Martin, Grand Empress of Ganache. Autumn recommends Venezuela because it has the least amount of sugar, and has just a pure chocolate flavor that works well in the candy kitchen. I think any of the Theo bars would whip into a lovely fudge, but I might be a little hesitant to try the Madagascar. I made a frosting with it a while back and it was so fruity and pungent it completely canceled out the humble brownies beneath it. Let me know what you try - I'm fantasizing about Theo Buckeyes- maybe with fresh ground honey roasted peanut butter and Venezuela. yummmmmmmm...
