Pumpkin Cake with Cider Caramel Sauce
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. oil
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin
2 eggs
Combine the first 6 ingredients. Add oil, pumpkin and eggs. Whisk until blended. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan. Bake at 325 for 30 minutes. Cool and top with the sauce before serving.
Cider Caramel Sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
2/3 c. apple cider
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
1 Tbsp. butter
salt to taste
In a saucepan, whisk brown sugar and cornstarch. Add cider and stir in the cream, butter and salt. Cook over med-hi heat, whisking constantly, until large bubbles form around the edge of the saucepan, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and allow to thicken, about 2 minutes. Top with vanilla ice cream if you want and drizzle sauce over it.
Yummo!!!
ReplyDeleteYum!! This cake and sauce looks so good. I'm always looking for great sauces!
ReplyDeleteI have this in the oven right now. I cant wait.
ReplyDeleteOh, I swore off desserts until Thanksgiving and now I wish I hadn't. This looks so yummy, especially that sauce.
ReplyDeleteUmm Mandy the cake is done and the caramel cider sauce is all over the cake. OMYGOODNESS this is so good. I couldn't help but have dessert first.
ReplyDeleteMy oh my oh my! I love a moist cake and these flavor combinations sound out of this world! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteThis was so so good! I made it for dessert for Thanksgiving and it was such a hit! I became aware of the recipe because it was posted on Mommyskitchen.net, and I am so glad to have found your page as well!
ReplyDeleteI love to bake and try new things, next I will be trying the chocolate croissants! :)
Just a note that I needed to bake my cake for more like 40 minutes, but the recipe was so easy to put together and like I said, a huge hit served warm with vanilla ice cream. Thanks!
I found you through This Chick Cooks. This looks like a wonderful recipe! I love pumpkin. I host a linky party (Crazy Sweet Tuesday) and hope you can join sometime. :)
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I would love it if you came over to Cast Party Wednesday and shared this sinfully good recipe with us!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
I hope to see you there!

mmmm. caramel. that seals the deal for me!
ReplyDeleteI printed this recipe from your site last year and I never got the chance to make it. Seeing this again has been a great reminder that I need to! If you would like, we're having a link party called Seasonal Inspiration Saturday - it would fit in perfect!

You can see in the picture how moist that cake is! Thanks for sharing at church supper. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI made this today. It was VERY!! YUMMY! THANKS!
ReplyDeleteOk, so I just made this. It's good but I don't think I let the sauce cook enough. I ended up adding some Karo because i didn't have cream and I think it made the sauce thicken too quickly. Anywho, the sauce burned my eyes when i was pouring it over the cake LOL. Is that normal?? You can REALLY taste the vinegar too, it's strong.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm I'll have to try this!

Im so stupid!! I actually do cook a lot :) Yes, I will try it with Apple Cider minus the vinegar! Glad I posted under anonymous...I could never fess up to this haha.
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to make this! It's pumpkin puree right? not the pumpkin pie filling?
ReplyDeleteI just made this, but it doesn't look quite like yours. It is still yummy. I was wondering if you are supposed to use Pumpkin Pie filling or Pure pumpkin? Maybe that is the difference in the way it looks? I used Pure Pumpkin. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMine didn't turn out like the photo--it was very dense and would not bake in the middle. The sauce is good, though! I'll make pumpkin bread instead.
