Pumpkin Pecan Cake

Fall season is approaching and nothing says Fall like pumpkin! I personally find the aroma of pumpkin to be one of the most comforting scents that can fill your home. It reminds me of the holidays and spending time with family, and honestly, what’s better than that? This pumpkin pecan cake is just the dessert to bake to share during the holiday season!

Pumpkin Pecan Cake

This cake is full of flavor and each piece is perfectly covered in frosting (well it’s supposed to be…lol). My family just can’t get enough. I cannot seem to keep this on the table longer than a couple of hours, before it vanishes. It’s that good!

Pumpkin Pecan Cake

Pumpkin and Pecans… two things that go hand in hand! Two things that make this cake one that I know you will want to make throughout the year. So give it a try, and I promise, you and your family will enjoy this cake over and over again!
