Yum!! This cake and sauce looks so good. I'm always looking for great sauces!
I have this in the oven right now. I cant wait.
Oh, I swore off desserts until Thanksgiving and now I wish I hadn't. This looks so yummy, especially that sauce.
Umm Mandy the cake is done and the caramel cider sauce is all over the cake. OMYGOODNESS this is so good. I couldn't help but have dessert first.
My oh my oh my! I love a moist cake and these flavor combinations sound out of this world! Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
This was so so good! I made it for dessert for Thanksgiving and it was such a hit! I became aware of the recipe because it was posted on Mommyskitchen.net, and I am so glad to have found your page as well! <br />I love to bake and try new things, next I will be trying the chocolate croissants! :)<br />Just a note that I needed to bake my cake for more like 40 minutes, but the recipe was so
I found you through This Chick Cooks. This looks like a wonderful recipe! I love pumpkin. I host a linky party (<a href="http://www.crazyforcrust.com/2011/09/crazy-sweet-tuesday_13.html" rel="nofollow">Crazy Sweet Tuesday</a>) and hope you can join sometime. 🙂
These look amazing! I would love it if you came over to Cast Party Wednesday and shared this sinfully good recipe with us!<br />Thanks,<br />I hope to see you there!<br />http://ladybehindthecurtain.com
mmmm. caramel. that seals the deal for me!
I printed this recipe from your site last year and I never got the chance to make it. Seeing this again has been a great reminder that I need to! If you would like, we're having a link party called Seasonal Inspiration Saturday – it would fit in perfect!<br /><br />www.crumbsandchaos.blogspot.com
You can see in the picture how moist that cake is! Thanks for sharing at church supper. Have a great week!
I made this today. It was VERY!! YUMMY! THANKS!
Ok, so I just made this. It's good but I don't think I let the sauce cook enough. I ended up adding some Karo because i didn't have cream and I think it made the sauce thicken too quickly. Anywho, the sauce burned my eyes when i was pouring it over the cake LOL. Is that normal?? You can REALLY taste the vinegar too, it's strong.
Hmmmm I'll have to try this!<br /><br />http://www.shilohstaste.com
This looks incredible, I cant wait to make it. Soo ready for some yummy fall foods.

Anonymous…there is no vinegar in the recipe. There is apple cider. Try it again and it will make all the difference!<br />
I made this tonight and is was fantastic!! Thank you so much for sharing. One of these days I'd like to try the caramel sauce with the cider!<br /><br />You can see my variations here:<br />http://delightfullyorganizedlife.com/homekeeping/pumpkin-cake-with-caramel-sauce/
Im so stupid!! I actually do cook a lot 🙂 Yes, I will try it with Apple Cider minus the vinegar! Glad I posted under anonymous…I could never fess up to this haha.
I think I'm going to make this! It's pumpkin puree right? not the pumpkin pie filling?
I just made this, but it doesn't look quite like yours. It is still yummy. I was wondering if you are supposed to use Pumpkin Pie filling or Pure pumpkin? Maybe that is the difference in the way it looks? I used Pure Pumpkin. Thanks!
Mine didn't turn out like the photo–it was very dense and would not bake in the middle. The sauce is good, though! I'll make pumpkin bread instead.
this looks too good. I know what I will be making this fall.<br /><br />
I doubled the sauce recipe because I know my husband. I poured the hot sauce over the hot cake in the pan.
I made this last weekend for an early Thanksgiving dinner. It was a hit! The cake is so moist, similar to a sticky toffee pudding density. I did cook it for 40 min's and it was perfect. I also doubled the caramel sauce, and served it with vanilla ice cream. Thanks for the great recipe!!
I am in LOVE with this recipe! Super easy + super delicious + not from a box = a new fall favorite!! Thank you!!
I love this cake. For the sauce, do I whisk the sugar and corn starch until the sugar melts and then add the other ingredients? Thanks!
You just whisk the brown sugar and cornstarch to mix it together and then add the rest 🙂
