Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 3/4 cup melted butter, divided
- Carrot cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1 cup pumpkin
Directions
Mix crushed wafers, pecans and 1/2 cup melted butter. Press evenly in 3 layer pans. Combine cake mix, eggs, water, 1/4 cup melted butter and pumpkin. (I just use a carrot cake recipe and add 1 cup pumpkin, or pumpkin bar recipe). Mix together and divide on crumbs in 3 pans. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes.
Filling
Ingredients
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 1 pkg. cream cheese
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1/4 cup caramel topping
- 1 cup pecan halves
Directions
Spread filling between layers, nut side down. With 3/4 cup filling, spread between layers. Frost only sides of cake. Spread caramel topping over top of cake, drizzling some over frosted sides. Arrange pecan halves on top.
