Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree gives the cake a more intense pumpkin flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at a high temperature for a short time. This will help the cake to rise and prevent it from becoming dense.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for pumpkin cake.

Pumpkin crack cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for fall. With its moist, flavorful cake and rich, creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next gathering. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
