Pumpkin Spice Caramel Toffee Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, beat all Cake ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
• Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven to cooling rack. Immediately poke holes using fork over top of cake.
• While cake is still warm, gently spread 1 cup caramel sauce over cake, working back and forth to fill holes. (Some filling will remain on top of cake.) Refrigerate 2 hours.
• When ready to serve, spread frosting evenly on top. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons caramel sauce. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Grease a 15x10x1-in. pan with 1 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, melt the remaining butter. Stir in the sugar, water, corn syrup, pie spice and salt. Cook, stirring continuously, over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage)., Remove from the heat; stir in pumpkin seeds. Immediately pour into prepared pan. Let stand at room temperature until cool, about 1 hour. Break or cut into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Mix together in a bowl all the dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cream together the butter and sugar for at least 5 minutes.
• Add in eggs, pumpkin, extracts.
• Add the dry ingredients mixed in the bowl you set aside to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk. There should be three additions of dry and two of milk. Flour, milk, flour, milk, flour. Mix just until combined after each addition. Do not overmix.
• Spray three 8 inch baking pans with baking spray.
• Divide batter among the three 8 inch baking pans.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 28 minutes.
• Cool on rack for 10 minutes then take out of the pans and let cool completely.
• Warm apricot preserves in microwave for 30 seconds and spread 1/3 cup on each layer.
• Warm caramel(dulce de leche) in microwave 30 seconds and spread 1/3 cup on each layer over the apricot then sprinkle with toffee bits.
• Spread 1 cup of cream cheese frosting on top of the caramel then sprinkle with toffee bits.
• Repeat for each layer and then add frosting to top and sides then decorate with toffee bits on sides and top however you want.
• You will need to crumb coat this and put it in the freeze after each layer is added. This just makes it easier so the layers do not slide around when frosting and your cake stays straight and doesn't become a leaning tower.
• This cake must be kept refrigerated because of the cream cheese frosting. It is best served room temperature. You can take it out of the refrigerator 1 hour before serving or cut a slice and warm it in the microwave for 30 minutes before eating.

Steps:

• For Cake:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Sift flour, cinnamon, ginger and allspice into small bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup brown sugar in large bowl until very thick, about 3 minutes. On low speed, beat in pumpkin, then dry ingredients. Using clean dry beaters, beat egg whites and salt in another large bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into batter in 3 additions. Transfer to prepared pan. Bake cake until tester is inserted comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
• Place smooth (not terry cloth) kitchen towel on work surface; dust generously with powdered sugar. Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Turn cake out onto kitchen towel. Fold towel over 1 long side of cake. Starting at 1 long side, roll up cake in towel. Arrange cake seam side down and cool completely, about 1 hour.
• For Filling:
• Pour 2 tablespoons rum into heavy small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Stir over low heat just until gelatin dissolves. Beat chilled whipping cream and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar in large bowl until firm peaks form. Beat in gelatin mixture. Fold in 6 tablespoons English toffee pieces.
• Unroll cake; sprinkle with 4 tablespoons English toffee pieces. Spread filling over. Starting at 1 long side and using kitchen towel as aid, roll up cake to enclose filling. Place cake seam side down on platter. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and refrigerate.)
• Trim ends of cake on slight diagonal. Dust cake with powdered sugar. Spoon some of warm sauce over top of cake. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup toffee. To serve, cut cake crosswise into 1-inch-thick slices. Pass remaining sauce.
