Caramel Pecan Pumpkin Cake

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 2 hours + standing YIELD: 10 servings.
Use your slow cooker as a cake maker for a seriously yummy dessert that is easy enough for any weekday and tasty enough for a holiday meal. It frees up oven space, too. —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup caramel sundae syrup
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions

  • 1. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk together the next 5 ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with pumpkin, beating well after each addition.
  • 2. Line a 5-qt. round slow cooker with heavy-duty foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray. Spread batter evenly into slow cooker. Cook, covered, on high until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 2 hours. To avoid scorching, rotate the slow-cooker insert a half turn midway through cooking, lifting carefully with oven mitts. Turn off slow cooker; let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes. Using foil, carefully lift cake out of slow cooker and invert onto a serving plate.
  • 3. Drizzle caramel syrup over cake; top with pecans. Serve warm.
