Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 cup pecan pieces (lightly toasted)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate milk until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Slowly add this mixture to your wet ingredients until just combined.
- Divide half of the batter evenly between two greased pans. Spread pumpkin puree on one layer and pecan filling on another before covering with remaining batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool in pans.
- Once cooled, stack layers alternating between pumpkin pie filling and pecan filling—frost with your choice of buttercream or whipped cream.
