Pumpkin Spice Sourdough Election Cake
What's on Your Plate
Pumpkin Spice Sourdough Election cake soaks dried fruit in cinnamon whiskey (or apple cider if you'd rather skip the alcohol), folds it into a spiced pumpkin sourdough batter, bakes low and slow, then soaks the finished cake in a boozy espresso syrup, decorates the top with dried orange and cranberries to spell VOTE, and lets it rest at least overnight before serving. It's your pumpkin spice fix and your Election Day cake in one.
