Pumpkin-Praline Layer Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on top. Sprinkle with praline pecans. Repeat with the remaining cake layers.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
