Mix in the vanilla. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the butter and egg mixture. Mix just until combined (the batter will be thick) and set aside. For the filling: In a second large mixing bowl, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, pumpkin puree and eggs and set aside. For the topping: In a third mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture is crumbly. Evenly spread the thick cake batter on the bottom of the prepared pan.

SPICED PUMPKIN COOKIE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the salt. Beat on low speed until most of the sugar has been incorporated into the butter, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the ingredients are completely combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater as needed.
• Turn the mixer off, add the flour, and beat on low, slowly increasing the speed until the flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add 1/4 cup of the heavy cream and beat on medium-high until the mixture is smooth.
• Divide the mixture between two 9-inch cake pans. Using damp hands, press the mixture into the bottom and to the edges of each pan to create a flat layer. (It doesn't need to be perfect; any fingerprints will disappear during baking or get covered with whipped cream.)
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the shortbread is deep golden brown. Remove from the oven, and, using a fork, prick all over with a fork while the cookies are still soft. Allow to cool in the pans for at least 30 minutes, then run a butter knife along the edges of the pans to loosen the cookies. Carefully invert the cookies onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
• Wash and dry the bowl of the stand mixer and set up the whisk attachment. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl and beat on medium speed, slowly increasing the speed to medium-high and whisking until the cream is thick. Increase the speed to high and add the pumpkin purée 1 tablespoon at a time until the cream is stiff. (This happens quickly, so be careful not to overwhip!)
• Assemble the cake by placing one of the cookies on the serving tray and slowly spooning 1/4 cup of the coffee overtop. Once the coffee has soaked into the cookie, add half the whipped cream mixture on top, spreading it to the edges. Repeat with the remaining cookie, coffee and whipped cream.
• Sprinkle the top layer of whipped cream with more pumpkin spice, and cover the cake loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the cake overnight - ideally a full 24 hours, so the cookies soften - and for up to 2 days before serving, for the best results.

PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake cases. Beat the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy, scraping down the edges to combine. Gradually beat in the eggs and vanilla.
• Fold in the flour and pumpkin spice, followed by the milk, and combine until you have a smooth batter. Using a tablespoon, divide the mixture between the cupcake cases, around two-thirds full. Bake for 12-15 mins - they should be firm to the touch and slightly golden brown. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then lift them out gently onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the cream cheese icing. Using a stand mixer or electric whisk, beat the butter, icing sugar and pumpkin spice mix together until it turns smooth and pale, about 1-2 mins. Add the soft cheese and whisk for a further 3-4 mins until it thickens - it will turn runny and then thicken up again.
• You can either put the icing into a piping bag and pipe it in a circle on top of the cooled cupcakes, or spoon it on top of the cupcakes and swirl it with the back of a spoon. Dust with extra pumpkin spice, if you like.
