1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
2 tsp. grated orange zest
1 tsp. vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 1/4 c vegetable oil
1 c sugar
1/4 c water
1 qt heavy cream
1/4 c dark corn syrup
2 tbsp. cold unsalted butter (cut into chunks)
8 oz semisweet chocolate (chopped)
1 tbsp. McCormick vanilla extract
pinch of salt
2 c pecans (chopped)
6 oz bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 stick unsalted butter (cut into chunks)
2 tsp. honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray two 9" round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, allspice, set aside.
  • In another bowl combine the pumpkin, sugar, orange zest and vanilla and beat on medium speed with hand mixer until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until each one is incorporated. Slowly add in your vegetable oil.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated.
  • Divide the batter between your 2 pans and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until top springs back and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool in pans for about 10 minutes, then on a wire rack until completely cooled.
  • To make the filling, combine the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a simmer and cook, without stirring, until deep amber, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Carefully whisk in your cream continuously whisking until smooth.
  • Add the corn syrup and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly about 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter, chocolate, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Let cool completely, then fold in your pecans.
  • Cover and refrigerate until firm but spreadable, about 1 hour.
  • Cut each cake in half horizontally with a serrated knife to make 4 layers.
  • Put 1 layer on a cake stand or turntable and spread one-third of the pecan filling on top.
  • Repeat for each layer, leaving the top of the cake unfrosted.
  • Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

Tips for Making the Best Pumpkin Spice Cake with Chocolate Pecan Filling:

- To ensure a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned. - Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in the filling. - If you don't have pecan halves, you can use chopped pecans or walnuts instead. - To prevent the filling from leaking out of the cake, make sure to seal the edges of the dough well before baking. - For a gooey filling, bake the cake for the minimum amount of time. For a firmer filling, bake for a few minutes longer. - Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting. - For a professional-looking finish, use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped to frost the cake.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin spice cake with chocolate pecan filling is the perfect fall dessert. It's moist, flavorful, and has the perfect balance of spices. The chocolate pecan filling is rich and gooey, and it pairs perfectly with the pumpkin cake. This cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering!
