Time 2h15m

Yield 10 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
1/2 cup caramel sundae syrup
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk together the next 5 ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with pumpkin, beating well after each addition., Line a 5-qt. round slow cooker with heavy duty foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray. Spread batter evenly into slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 2 hours. To avoid scorching, rotate the slow-cooker insert one-half turn midway through cooking, lifting carefully with oven mitts. Turn off slow cooker; let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes. Using foil, carefully lift cake out of slow cooker and invert onto a serving plate., Drizzle caramel syrup over cake; top with pecans. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your cake the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the cake will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of toppings. You can top the cake with caramel sauce, pecan halves, or whipped cream. You can also get creative and use other toppings, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or sprinkles.

Conclusion:

Caramel pecan pumpkin cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for fall. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich and moist texture, sweet caramel flavor, and crunchy pecan topping, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
