Pumpkin Cake with Browned Butter and Caramel!
This pumpkin cake recipe is set to impress! When you want to go all out two flavors that are sure to satisfy are nutty browned butter and rich salted caramel and they pair amazingly well together. Plus they are simply divine when combined with the flavor of pumpkin pie spice! This pumpkin layer cake does require a few steps but in the end you’ll realize it was so worth it! The hardest part is the patience in waiting for the browned butter and caramel sauce to cool. At least you didn’t do it four times like I did lol. I made the cake portion four times trying to figure out how to get a fluffy cake using browned butter, the key is in chilling the butter and letting it nearly set again so you can whip it with the sugar to get those air bubbles that will expand with the baking soda and baking powder, which will leave you with a taller and fluffier cake.
All the sciences of baking can be hard to get, but now I know if you want a fluffy cake that includes browned butter the best bet is to let it set again so it can whip up well. If you don’t want layers, you can make this pumpkin dessert as a bundt cake! Another option is to make this a pumpkin caramel poke cake! Bake this as a pumpkin sheet cake, poke holes, and douse with a salted caramel sauce before frosting with an offset spatula. This would be the perfect cake for a Halloween or Thanksgiving celebration, or if you are just looking for something amazing to bake this weekend I suggest trying out this cake! It will have you swooning and maybe even swaying. That’s right, dancing because you’re so in love with it!
