PUMPKIN-PECAN LAYER CAKE
Say "hello" to a stunning dessert that will steal the show at your fall party, Thanksgiving dinner, special occasion, or just to make as the perfect seasonal baking project. This masterpiece of a cake has three from-scratch pumpkin layers that get added flavor from fall spices: cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, and from toasted pecans that are stirred into the cake batter before it's baked. What takes this cake to the next level is the dulce de leche-cream cheese frosting: a tangy-sweet combination that's both filled in-between the layers of the cake, and frosted all around it. Frosting mounds piped onto half of the cake and sprinkled with cinnamon give it a unique look that's both whimsical and picture-perfect.
