Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup pecan pie filling
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the butter with the eggs and milk until well blended.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool completely.

- In a mixing bowl, blend together pumpkin puree, sugar, spices, and eggs until smooth.
- Place one layer of cake on a cake stand, pour in the pecan filling, followed by another layer of cake, and then repeat with the pumpkin filling.
- Top with the final cake layer.
- You can use whipped cream or cream cheese frosting to top off your Piecaken, garnishing it with crushed pecans and a dusting of cinnamon for that finishing touch.
