Chocolate Velvet Cake with Strawberries

You’ve been waiting all week haven’t you!  This is definitely drool worthy and is super easy to make and a great recipe for the kiddos to lend a helping hand in!  They can dip the strawberries in chocolate and braise the cake with Strawberry jam! This was made in the Stoneware Fluted Pan from Pampered Chef and are you ready?…..IN THE MICROWAVE!

Man was this good!!  And the pan was awesome of course. We laid it upside down on a beautiful bamboo platter for a good ten minutes to rest before lifting the pan.  Viola! It came out so pretty, no sticking.

You can find the main dish we served with this (and giveaway) and see more pictures from the Party.

    Pumpkin Bars
    2 1/2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (you can substitute all purpose if you want) 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp baking powder 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 1/4 cups milk 1 cup canned (or cooked & pureed) pumpkin 1/4 cup melted butter 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp ground ginger pinch ground clove pinch nutmeg Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/2 cup dried cranberries
    Procedure:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 5 loaf pan. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and make a well in the center. In another bowl, mix eggs, butter, and milk together. Pour the wet ingredients into the well, along with the pumpkin (and nuts and cranberries if you use them). Combine with a spatula or a big spoon, just until the dry ingredients are all moistened. Do not overbeat; mixture should be lumpy, not smooth. Bake for an hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for ten minutes before removing from the pan.
