Individual Pumpkin Cakes

Pin It

It looks good right? well it was really good, individual desserts are always great and they are perfect for special ocassions. Actually my mom made them and I though they were a good idea, it is something different and they turned out amazing.

- 1 1/4 c. flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. unsalted butter
- 1/4 c. pumpkin pure
- 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice
- 3 eggs

1. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add eggs one at a time. Stir in the pumpkin pure, flour, baking powder and pumpkin pie spice. Bake at 360°F for 50 minutes.

[ let it cool for at least 1 hour ]

2. With a round cookie cutter cut the cake and then cut the circle in half. Make the filling by mixing 1 c. of whipped cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. Fill the bottom part and cover it, top it with a little bit more and decorate with caramelized pecans.

[ melt 1/2 c. of sugar until you make a caramel and then cover the pecans ]

You can also make squares, but personally I like more the circles, it gives the impression of a real cake.
