Dinner with Jen, Gus and Laurie. Jason made bread (he wan't happy with it; he keeps tinkering), and I made a pumpkin cake with brown butter-cream cheese frosting (from Sally's Baking Addiction, a very reliable source). Jen had two Blue Aprons---one a shakshuka repeat, and the other a sauteed cod with squash and cabbage with a kind of cilantro sauce. Not my favorites, but maybe I have just not done a good job cooking them. Perhaps Laurie's bourbon-cider cocktails didn't help?
Anyway, the cake was essentially pumpkin bread with frosting. Nothing wrong with that (and it used the whole can of pumpkin puree; recipes that only use part irritate me) ! I don't normally love cream cheese frosting but it was nice and creamy and not overly tangy. I would make both again, for sure. I have enough leftover frosting to maybe make a spice cake next weekend.
