Chocolate-Caramel Pumpkin Torte image

I'm pretty proud to say this is one of my first experiments in the kitchen that turned out "to-die-for" delicious. The key is to let the cake cool completely before cutting and assembling with the frostings. -Lauren Brennan, Hood River, Oregon

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I'm so glad I did! The torte was surprisingly light and fluffy, and the flavors were well-balanced. I'll definitely be making this again.
