Pumpkin Spice Caramel Toffee Cake Recipes

PUMPKIN CARAMEL POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the cake mix, pumpkin puree, egg, oil, pumpkin pie spice, and beat with a handheld electric mixer on high until smooth and combined, about 3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• Bake for about 27 to 30 minutes, or until cake is set in the center, springy to the touch, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no batter.
• While the cake bakes combine the sweetened condensed milk, caramel sundae topping, and whisk to combine; set aside.
• Remove cake from the oven when it's done and use the blunt end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake. I didn't count but I estimate I poked the cake in about 60 places, evenly spaced over the surface.
• Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk and caramel mixture over the cake, taking your time to evenly distribute it.
• Place cake in the fridge for about 15 minutes to cool slightly before adding the whipped topping so it doesn't melt.
• Remove cake from the fridge, evenly spread the whipped topping over the surface, evenly sprinkle with toffee bits, chocolate chips, and evenly drizzle with salted caramel sauce.
• Cover cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best) before slicing and serving.

PUMPKIN SPICE CARAMEL TOFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Mix together in a bowl all the dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cream together the butter and sugar for at least 5 minutes.
• Add in eggs, pumpkin, extracts.
• Add the dry ingredients mixed in the bowl you set aside to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk. There should be three additions of dry and two of milk. Flour, milk, flour, milk, flour. Mix just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
• Spray three 8 inch baking pans with baking spray.
• Divide batter among the three 8 inch baking pans.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 28 minutes.
• Cool on rack for 10 minutes then take out of the pans and let cool completely.
• Warm apricot preserves in microwave for 30 seconds and spread 1/3 cup on each layer.
• Warm caramel(dulce de leche) in microwave 30 seconds and spread 1/3 cup on each layer over the apricot then sprinkle with toffee bits.
• Spread 1 cup of cream cheese frosting on top of the caramel then sprinkle with toffee bits.
• Repeat for each layer and then add frosting to top and sides then decorate with toffee bits on sides and top however you want.
• You will need to crumb coat this and put it in the freeze after each layer is added. This just makes it easier so the layers do not slide around when frosting and your cake stays straight and doesn't become a leaning tower.
• This cake must be kept refrigerated because of the cream cheese frosting. It is best served room temperature. You can take it out of the refrigerator 1 hour before serving or cut a slice and warm it in the microwave for 30 minutes before eating.

PUMPKIN ROLL CAKE WITH TOFFEE CREAM FILLING AND CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For Cake:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Sift flour, cinnamon, ginger and allspice into small bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup brown sugar in large bowl until very thick, about 3 minutes. On low speed, beat in pumpkin, then dry ingredients. Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites and salt in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into batter in 3 additions. Transfer to prepared pan. Bake cake until tester is inserted comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
• Place smooth (not terry cloth) kitchen towel on work surface; dust generously with powdered sugar. Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Turn cake out onto kitchen towel. Fold towel over 1 long side of cake. Starting at 1 long side, roll up cake in towel. Arrange cake seam side down and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For Filling:
• Pour 2 tablespoons rum into heavy small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Stir over low heat just until gelatin dissolves. Beat chilled whipping cream and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar in large bowl until firm peaks form. Beat in gelatin mixture. Fold in 6 tablespoons English toffee pieces.
• Unroll cake; sprinkle with 4 tablespoons English toffee pieces. Spread filling over. Starting at 1 long side and using kitchen towel as aid, roll up cake to enclose filling. Place cake seam side down on platter. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and refrigerate.)
• Trim ends of cake on slight diagonal. Dust cake with powdered sugar. Spoon some of warm sauce over top of cake. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup toffee. To serve, cut cake crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Pass remaining sauce.

PUMPKIN SPICE CAKE WITH CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch cake pan that is 2 inches deep. Beat the eggs in a bowl until smooth, then beat in the vegetable oil and pumpkin puree. Sift remaining ingredients into a large bowl. Add the mixture and stir until combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan against a hard surface a couple of times to settle any air bubbles. Bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Place on a rack to cool. Turn the cake out of the pan.
• To make the caramel sauce, combine the sugar, water and lemon juice in a saucepan. (It's easier to see the caramel color in a light-colored, enamel pan.) Place over medium heat to dissolve the sugar. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Wet a pastry brush and wash down the sides of the pan to keep them clean of sugar. Cook until the sugar turns a deep golden color. Swirl the pan gently to insure even cooking and coloration. Remove from the heat. Carefully stir in cream. Return pan to the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the caramel is completely dissolved and the sauce is smooth. Chill.
• To serve, slice the cake and place 1 piece on each plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and spoon sauce around the cake. Serve immediately
