Pumpkin Spice Cake with Caramel Pecan Sauce




This deliciously moist pumpkin spice cake goes over the top good with the caramel pecan sauce!

Pumpkin Spice Cake:

¾ cup butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 teaspoon cardamom
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ginger
1 cup buttermilk

Caramel Pecan Glaze:

1 cup sugar
½ cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup toasted pecans, chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a bundt cake pan on a baking sheet and generously grease it with baking spray.

For the cake:

In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat to combine. Add the pumpkin and combine well.

In a separate bowl add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices and sift them all together. Add half of the flour mixture to the batter, and then half of the buttermilk. Combine completely and then add the rest of the flour and the rest of the buttermilk. Mix the batter until it is completely combined.

Pour the batter into the bundt cake pan. Bake the cake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a rack almost completely before turning out onto a cake platter.

When the cake has been turned out onto the platter, then make the caramel pecan topping.

In a medium sized pan over medium heat add the sugar. When it starts to turn golden around the edges, reduce the heat to low and begin to stir until all the sugar has melted. Add the butter and the cream and stir constantly over low heat until you have a smooth caramel sauce- this may take up to 10 minutes.

Add the pecans and immediately stir and pour over the top of the pumpkin spice bundt cake.

Tammy and I have been friends for many years and met here on YouTube! Since then we have met up in real life many times. You will LOVE her tutorials and learn how to decorate cupcakes better than most bakeries do. She lives in Canada, but I really wish she lived next door.

Also check out Jenn of cupcakesandcardio. You will love her as well. http://tinyurl.com/lahtvfp
Jenn and I have met in real life twice and done some video collaborations together. When we are together, we "get" each other. It is hard to explain to people sometimes what you do and it is nice to be comfy knowing that she also understands everything I am talking about. Oddly enough, she too lives in Canada. I may have to move there soon since such awesome ladies are produced there!

Lastly, smile! I like it when you smile :)
