Each fall I am asked to bake for out church youth group’s Spaghetti Dinner and Dessert Auction. In 2014 I made my Brownie Sundae Cheesecake. In 2015 I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Cheesecake. Those are two of my favorite desserts. This year I got smart, I made something I don’t like, but I know a lot of other people do…pumpkin. Its fall and it seems my house is the only one in the country not consuming everything pumpkin. I made a Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Cake for this year’s auction.

This Salted Caramel Pumpkin Spice Cake is a moist and easy fall recipe.

This recipe is easy. It is a poke cake. I love poke cakes because they get filled up with extra flavor, without a lot of extra work. Basically I made a pumpkin spice cake, poked it and filled it with salted caramel sauce, frosted it with a cream cheese/whipped topping frosting and garnished with more caramel sauce. Easy right? Honestly, I wasn’t please with how the final cake looked, I really need a decorating class! So, the pictures don’t do it justice. My friend Barry won the cake for his wife who has been asking for all things pumpkin. She said the cake was moist and delicious!
