Let me introduce you to the cake that ends all cakes. And guess what? There’s not a trace of chocolate in it. Say what?! I know it sounds crazy, but this Praline Pumpkin Cake has managed to make it’s way into the top of my list of best desserts. It caught my eye when I was flipping through my food magazine, but I had no idea what was in store. I love this time of year and any excuse to have a pumpkin dessert, so it was an easy choice. But holy moly, this one should be on your top dessert list too!

So, how’s it taste?

I’m not sure where to begin. There is so much flavor going on in this cake. I knew it was going to be fantastic while I was mixing it together because the smell was so intoxicating. Not to mention how it smelled baking in the oven. The cake is your basic yellow cake mixed with pumpkin and spices. Then top that with a pecan praline crust. I’m talking buttery, creamy delicious praline with pecans. As if that wasn’t sinful enough, the whole cake is iced with cream cheese frosting mixed with nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Oh and while you’re at it, top it with more pecans and drizzle that with caramel! Oh. My. Word. This cake will seriously make you never crave chocolate again. With the holidays coming up, I highly suggest this cake makes your menu for an unforgettable dessert. Your friends and family will start calling you cake master. I promise.
