Ingredients

Cake

  • 15oz pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup butter (very soft)
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 cups all purpose flour

Frosting

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cups chopped pecans

Directions

Cake
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large mixing bowl beat pumpkin, oil, butter, and sugar.
Step 2
Add vanilla and eggs, mixing after each addition.
Step 3
Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice and mix until well incorporated.
Step 4
Add flour and mix well.
Step 5
Pour cake batter into a greased 9x13" pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting
Step 6
In a medium sauce pan melt together brown sugar, butter, and milk. Stirring frequently, bring the mixture to a boil and let boil for one full minute.
Step 7
Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and 1 cup of the powdered sugar, whisking until smooth.
Step 8
Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then whisk in remaining powdered sugar and pour over cake.
Immediately sprinkle nuts over frosting and gently press them down just enough so they stick.
