Ingredients

  1. nonstick cooking spray
  2. 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  3. 1 cup bread flour
  4. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  5. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  6. ½ teaspoon baking soda
  7. ½ teaspoon salt
  8. ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  9. 1 cup solid-pack pumpkin
  10. ½ cup sour cream
  11. ½ cup packed brown sugar
  12. ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  13. 2 large eggs
  14. 4 cups cooked pulled pork, heated
  15. ½ cup toasted pepitas
  16. ½ cup dried cranberries
  17. ½ cup toasted chopped pecans
  18. ½ cup barbeque sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of 2 nonstick, 9-inch round baking pans with cooking spray.
  2. Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until blended. Add pumpkin, sour cream, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour and evenly spoon equal portions of the batter mixture into the 2 prepared baking pans.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Place both over a wire cooling rack and let cool slightly, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove cornbread from pans and set aside.
  5. Center one cornbread, top-side down, on a serving plate or platter. Spoon and evenly spread the warm pulled pork over top to cover, then carefully center the remaining cornbread on top.
  6. Mix pepitas, cranberries, and pecans together in a small bowl. Spoon evenly over the top edges of the cornbread and add a little spoonful to the center. Cut the assembled torta into even slices and serve with barbeque sauce.
  7. You can use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour.

Kids gave it 5. I’m not that much of a fan but it was still interesting and worth making once
