Instructions
 

How To Make The Pumpkin Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease an 8X8 inch pan with oil spray or butter and line it with parchment paper. Leave some paper from the sides for lifting. Set it aside.
  • Sift all-purpose flour, baking soda and powder, salt, and spices and set aside. Sifting the dry ingredients will aerate them, resulting in a fluffy, textured cake.
    1½ cups All-purpose flour, ¾ teaspoon Baking soda, 1½ teaspoon Baking powder, ¼ teaspoon Salt, 1½ teaspoon Fall spice blend
  • Combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and mix well until well blended.
    1¼ cup Pumpkin Puree, 3 Eggs, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract, 1 cup Granulated sugar, ¾ cup Oil
  • Add the dry ingredients to the above mixture and gently mix.
  • Pour the cake batter into the greased pan and smooth out the top.

How To Make Caramel Topping

  • Mix the caramel sauce and chopped pecans in a small bowl and spoon the mixture over the batter. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes or until an insert comes out clean.
    ¾ cup Pecans, ⅓ cup Caramel sauce
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for half an hour, then lift the overhang paper, transfer the cake to a cooling rack, and let it cool thoroughly.

Make The Glaze

  • To make these more decadent, drizzle their top with some maple glaze. This is optional. Cut the cake into 9 or 16 squares and enjoy.
    ½ cup Powdered sugar, 2 teaspoon Maple syrup
