Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 10- X 15-inch baking dish with cooking spray.


Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and pumpkin; beat well. Add salt, pumpkin pie spice, flour, oats and baking soda; mix thoroughly. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and place walnut halves on top so there will be 1 walnut in the center of each piece of cake. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.


Cool in pan and cut into 24 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving.
Notes
Spice up the batter with a dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, ginger or allspice.
