Yes, I just mentioned the holidays. And yes, it’s still technically summer. Sorry?

I am happy to keep the summer weather, but once school starts, and pumpkin spice everything hits the shelves and coffee shops, I just can’t help myself. It’s pumpkin season, y’all!

If it’s too hot where you live, and you can’t bring yourself to turn on the oven for fall desserts just yet, I have a solution! No-bake pumpkin desserts for the win! These are some of our all time favorites:

This Pumpkin Pie Oreo Cheesecake Fluff is cool, creamy, and has all the fall flavors we love! These No Bake Pumpkin Spice Crack Cookies are quick and easy and totally addictive! This easy No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe is so incredibly dreamy! Don’t wait for Thanksgiving to make it!

Ok, fess up. Have you given in to the pumpkin spice goodness yet this year? I totally gave in about a week ago and tried the new pumpkin cream cold brew. It was so good and totally put me in the fall baking mood!

Yesterday I went on my kindergartner’s first field trip! We went to the apple orchard and had lots of fun apple picking, and now I have a gorgeous assortment of colorful apples displayed on my table.

This is only encouraging more fall baking for me! We all keep snacking on them, but I am totally thinking of all the yummy recipes I could be making. Stay tuned for apple recipes!!

But today is all about the pumpkin! Not only is this cake surprisingly easy to make, but it uses an entire can of pumpkin puree! Hooray! Don’t you love recipes like this?! No more saving a half used can of pumpkin only to forget about it, and have it rot in the fridge. Ha! I know I can’t be the only one.

This cake is so moist and flavorful, you could totally do without frosting and just dust it with powdered sugar. But that would be a shame because this praline frosting is out-of-this-world AMAZING!

If you’ve never made praline frosting before, don’t be intimidated. It’s actually really simple, and only takes a few minutes! You are going to love it!

Don’t wait for the holidays to make this Easy Pumpkin Praline Cake. Make it now, then you will know that it will be the star of your holiday gathering in a couple months! Enjoy!

A FEW QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE AND PRO TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE EASY PUMPKIN PRALINE CAKE FROM SCRATCH:

  • Can this EASY PUMPKIN PRALINE CAKE FROM SCRATCH be made as a layer cake? YES! Bake the pumpkin cake recipe in 2 8″ or 9″ pans and bake for 20-25 minutes.

  • Can this PUMPKIN PRALINE CAKE be made ahead of time and frozen? You can make this pumpkin cake in advance and after it cools, wrap it well in plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw at room temperature for an hour then make the frosting!

  • Can I make this PUMPKIN PRALINE CAKE without nuts? If you do not like pecans, or have an allergy, you may leave them out altogether, or swap them for a  different nut. Walnuts would be delicious here too!
