My New Favorite Fireclay Sink!

Our friend Jenna Shaughnessy of www.jennakateathome.com & @jennakateathome on Instagram, recently updated her kitchen and installed the Sinkology Turner fireclay kitchen sink. She shared with us how the update went!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

When I began the process of designing my dream kitchen, I had two must-haves: a tile backsplash that went to the ceiling and a beautiful farmhouse style sink.

The tile required some shopping and samples before I found “the one” but the sink was a much easier decision for me.

I already knew the folks at Sinkology having met them a few years in a row at the Haven blogging conference. Having seen their sinks in person, I was confident that whatever style I chose, it would be perfect for my new kitchen.  

Having researched a bit about farmhouse and apron front sinks, I knew that a fireclay sink was the way to go. They are durable, stain-resistant and chip resistant. Nobody needs to be babying their sink, so this was the way to go for me.

After looking through the choices online, I opted for the Turner Fireclay sink from the INSPIRED collection, plus the Pfister Stellen faucet in satin brass and matching drain kit. The all-in-one kit meant one less option for me to have to mull over, as the beautiful faucet would match the kitchen design perfectly.

 

Once my sink cabinet was finally installed, my contractor had the sink in-situ in no time at all. Mind you, it took 2 full grown men to lift it into place! That is one solid sink!

We’ve been using the sink for a few weeks now, and I love it even more than I thought I would. It’s huge! Even with the slightly shallower basin than some of the farmhouse sinks. The Pfister faucet is so powerful, that it instantly pushes all crumbs and other food bits down the drain, making keeping the sink clean an absolute breeze.

I will say that you definitely need a pull down hose on the faucet if you’re planning on having a large sink like this, otherwise all the food will get stuck to the corners. We had that issue with our last sink and it was so annoying to clean. I’ve had no problems with our new faucet that easily reaches all the corners.

Having only had stainless steel sinks in the past, I made sure to get a bottom grid for the sink, for fear of placing something in too hard or quickly and breaking it. The grid has been great and I definitely recommend getting it as part of your package.

I think this photo is my favorite shot of the entire kitchen. The sink with the pretty faucet, and the picture window surrounded by tile. Everyone that has come to see our new kitchen comments on our “new” window. But it’s actually the same window that has always been here! The bright white sink and marble tile around it just make the view picture perfect!

If you’ve been trying to decide whether to get an apron front sink, I highly recommend the Turner farmhouse sink. It’s a beautiful and functional addition to any style of kitchen, whether you’re more into modern, traditional or farmhouse style.

Mini Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake with Maple Buttercream

Sinkology is proud to present Emily Schuermann, our food-loving guest blogger who runs Food for a Year. Emily is here to share some recipes she has created exclusively for the Sinkology blog that reflect her view of a copper sink: simple, timeless, affordable, and beautifully rustic.

Absolutely – this is your go-to Fall dessert! This small batch Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake is a great recipe for a quick dessert or the dessert table at your Thanksgiving meal! Between the quick baking time, simple instructions and fantastic flavors, this one is sure to please everyone!

This cake and buttercream combination might just be my very favorite, but this recipe is easily adaptable! Several other flavor suggestions can be found in the NOTES section of the below recipe.

For the Love of Pumpkin Pie Cake

This little recipe is one of my very most favorites for several reasons and at the top of my list?! It’s so, so easy. Start off by melting the butter with the water and pumpkin puree. Then add in the sugar, stirring to dissolve. Because this is a small batch cake, the remaining ingredients can be added all at once. Stir quickly, scrape the sides, pour into the 1/4 sheet-sized baking pan and bake for 15 minutes.

There’s No Better Buttercream

While the cake is baking and cooling, prepare the maple sirup buttercream. The key in making a prefect buttercream is to drizzle the milk while mixing, until the desired consistency is reached. For this recipe, a smooth, pourable buttercream is a perfect companion to this delicate pumpkin pie sheet cake.

Once the cake is baked and cooled, simply frost and serve! This recipe makes a mini (small batch sheet cake) and serves 8-12 people. But if you’re in the market for a larger cake this recipe can be easily doubled, tripled or quadrupled. ((The frosting makes quite a bit extra, so you’ll probably only need to double if you’re quadrupling the cake))

So easy AND so good! The subtle warm spices of clove and cinnamon, along with the sweet maple sirup buttercream are such a perfect flavor combination. I think this cake recipe will have to follow me into the Spring!

Mini Pumpkin Pie Sheet Cake with Maple Buttercream

Cake Ingredients

• 1/8 c water
• 3/8 c canned pumpkin puree
• 1 stick (8 oz) salted butter
• 1 c packed brown sugar
• 1/4 c sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• 1 egg, whisked
• 1/2 t ground cinnamon
• 1/4 t ground cloves
• 1/2 t kosher salt
• 1/2 t baking soda
• 1 c flour

Buttercream Ingredients

• 3 c powdered sugar
• 2 T melted salted butter
• pinch of salt
• 3 T pure maple sirup
• 1/4 c milk, more or less to desired consistency

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 1/4 sheet rimmed cake sheet pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small or medium saucepan, combine water, pumpkin and butter. Simmer, covered, over medium heat until the butter is almost melted (approximately 3 minutes). Remove from flame and add sugar and stir until dissolved (1 minute).

Add sour cream, flour, spices, salt and baking soda. Whisk in egg. Continue whisking and scrape the sides to remove any lumps.

Pour cake batter into prepared pan, smoothing into the corners.

Bake 15 minutes or until cake is set (an instant read thermometer should register 200°-205°).

Allow cake to cool completely.

While cake is cooling, combine buttercream ingredients (except milk) in a medium mixing bowl. Using a hand-mixer, drizzle milk while beating until desired consistency is reached. You may need more or less milk depending on the thickness you prefer.

Once the cake is completely cooled, pour the buttercream over the cake and spread over the entire cake. You will probably have 1 cup of buttercream left over. I love maple buttercream and graham crackers, so plan on having a little treat with any leftovers!

Notes

Looking for a different flavor? Sub mashed bananas or applesauce for the pumpkin puree.

Serves 12
