Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment and any exposed portions of the pan with butter or oil.In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, canola oil, molasses, and maple syrup until blended. In a separate, larger bowl, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cloves, stirring to combine. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir gently until no dry spots remain. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smooth the surface with a rubber spatula, and bake for 28 to 32 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then carefully remove it onto a wire rack to cool completely. (You may need to do a couple inversions to transfer the cake to the cooling rack; do this gently to avoid splits and breaks.)Once the cake has cooled to room temperature, carefully peel off the parchment paper. Prepare the frosting by whipping the butter in a medium bowl until fluffy. Add the pumpkin pie spice and the powdered sugar, a little bit at a time, beating after each addition. Lastly, add the cream and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Use a rubber or offset spatula to frost the cake as desired. Decorate only the top as I did, or spread the frosting a little more thinly and cover the sides as well. Sprinkle the chopped, toasted walnuts over the top, slice, and serve.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
