Tips
- To ensure a smooth batter, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer on medium speed.
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling contains added spices and sugar, which can alter the flavor of the cake.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the pecans by hand. Just be sure to chop them as finely as possible so that they blend well into the cake.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a more decadent cake, you can use a cream cheese frosting instead of the maple cream cheese frosting.
Conclusion
