'I'm one of the cooking project leaders for my daughter's 4-H club, where these soft delicious cookies were a great hit with the kids,' reports Marietta Slater of Augusta, Kansas.
The inspiration from this cake came from Tartine's pumpkin tea cake. I wanted to make a lighter, cake-ier cake, closer to a dessert you'd eat at a dinner party than to a quickbread you'd eat for breakfast. The frosting recipe is based on my idol Dorie Greenspan's Tangy Cream Cheese Frosting.
