Cake & Cocktails for the Harvest Moon
September 27, 2007
The perfect ending to our dinner last night, and not a bad breakfast this morning! ;)
The rich and spicy recipe came from Culinary Cafe. I called it our Pumpkin Moonshine cake, because it was made of pumpkin and we ate it by moonshine ...
We (meaning Bill and I) also tried a special drink, just for the fun of it - Susan Branch's Harvest Moon Cocktails:
Let me sum them up this way ... YUM!!!
You can find the recipe in Autumn from The Heart of the Home and here, in the October issue of Country Living (scroll ahead to picture 7/21). We made ours with the brandy called for in the recipe, but you could make these non-alcoholic by using apricot nectar (I would think).
The above shot is indeed the Harvest Moon, but taken at 6 this morning, as it set slowly in the western sky. Our night pictures came out very blurry - and no, it had nothing to do with that cocktail! ;)
Look again tonight if you can~ start watching just after sunset.
