Time 56m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup pumpkin puree
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup canola oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup caramel sauce
1 tablespoon bourbon, divided
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cake is evenly moist, use a toothpick or skewer to poke holes all over the cake before pouring the caramel sauce. This will allow the sauce to soak into the cake and create a delicious, moist texture.
  • For a richer caramel sauce, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar. Brown sugar has a molasses flavor that will add depth and richness to the sauce.
  • If you don't have a cake mix, you can make your own using your favorite cake recipe. Just be sure to bake the cake in a 9x13 inch pan.
  • To make the cake extra special, you can top it with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh fruit. You can also drizzle the cake with more caramel sauce before serving.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin caramel poke cake is the perfect fall dessert. It's easy to make and always a hit with family and friends. The moist pumpkin cake is perfectly complemented by the rich caramel sauce, and the whipped cream or ice cream topping adds the perfect finishing touch. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give this pumpkin caramel poke cake a try!
