Tips for the Best Pumpkin Praline Cake

This pumpkin praline cake is so easy to make and absolutely delicious. Here are a few tips to ensure that your cake turns out perfect every time:

  • Make sure to use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The pumpkin pie filling already has sugar and spices added to it and won't work in this recipe.
  • Beat the oil and sugar together until creamy. This helps to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Don't over-mix the batter. Once you add the flour, mix until just combined. Over-mixing can lead to a dense cake.
  • Don't over-bake the cake. Start checking for doneness at the 45-minute mark to ensure that the cake doesn't become dry.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the praline topping. If the cake is still warm, the topping will melt and won't set properly.

This pumpkin praline cake is the perfect fall dessert. It's sweet, creamy, and full of pumpkin flavor. It's sure to be a hit with your friends and family. Enjoy!
