Pumpkin Spice Cake image

I originally got this recipe from verybestbaking.com. It was posted there in the swapped recipes by L.Terrell. I have made a few adjustments to the original recipe and I often double the praline topping because it's so good. It's very yummy and very easy!

Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
3/4 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 cup pecans, chopped fine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Generously grease bundt pan (be sure to use a larger bundt pan because there will be a lot of batter).
  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pumpkin, brown sugar, oil, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Beat with mixer for 1 minute.
  • Add eggs, beat for 2 minutes more.
  • Prepare topping* by melting butter with brown sugar in small saucepan.
  • Remove from heat and add nuts.
  • Pour half of the cake batter into greased bundt pan.
  • Pour small amount of topping mixture on top of the cake batter, all the way around (be careful to keep in the center and not get close to the side or middle of the pan).
  • Pour the rest of the cake batter into the pan.
  • Bake cake at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes, then invert onto plate.
  • When cake is completely cool, re-warm remaining topping and drizzle remaining topping on cake.
  • *The topping instructions aren't very specific and you really don't have to cook it a long time, just until the sugar and butter are melted and bubbling.

Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

HIGH PROTEIN PUMPKIN SPICE CAKE



High Protein Pumpkin Spice Cake image

This spice cake is a delicious healthy remake of classic pumpkin bars. We love it for breakfast. This recipe came from Coconut Recipes. When I made this recipe I used regular White Granulated Sugar, Applesauce in place of the coconut oil, Greek Yogurt, All Purpose White Flour, and left out the Nuts. I made these changes based on what I had on hand. The batter smells wonderful. I did have to add on another 10 minutes to baking. After baking I covered the cake with plastic wrap over night. The next day I drizzled a glaze over top and had a piece. The texture was like a firm pumpkin pie. Very yummy!
