Why: I buy all the baking magazines around the holiday and cut out recipes and slap them into a binder. I hadn't cracked open the binder in months so I thought it was time to give it a peek. It was between this recipe and a caramel pudding cake but since my husband always leans towards pumpkin, the pumpkin cake it was. I had high hopes but I wasn't expecting the most delicious thing I've baked in a long time.
What: Imagine a pumpkin cake with a caramelized pecan topping. Yeah, it's as good as it sounds. Add some vanilla ice cream and I have just made a new friend for life. I feared that my husband would eat it all so I took most of the cake into work and people officially lost their crap. One person told me that he "lost himself" in it and another gave some to their friend who then offered me a marriage proposal. The best reaction was a coworker who ate 2 slices before he left the office only to call me later in the afternoon and hide him 2 more slices. Now it haunts me, weeks later people still bring it up in regular conversation.
