Caramel Pumpkin Poke Cake

  |  17 Comments



My husband has to work this year so we won’t be joining my sisters and parents for Thanksgiving this year. We are sad but we get to see them for Christmas (which is going to be AWESOME!) – That being said, there are NO RULES for our Thanksgiving dinner. My husband doesn’t love pie so instead I’m going to be bringing this Caramel Pumpkin Poke Cake to our Thanksgiving Dinner. (I even love it more than pie!)

If you have pie haters (or kids) coming to your Thanksgiving, I highly suggest making this. Your guests will love you forever!

      I did a little research for you on canned pumpkin and fresh pumpkin. Fifteen ounces of canned pumpkin is just shy of 2 cups (16 ounces would be 2 cups). A 3-pound pie pumpkin will likely give you enough puree for your recipe. Here are some good tips for using fresh pumpkin: Pumpkin math: After cooking and draining, this is about what to expect from a typical cooking pumpkin. 2-1/2 pound pie pumpkin = 1-3/4 cups puree 3-1/2 pound pie pumpkin = 2-1/2 cups puree 6 pound carving pumpkin = 2-3/4 cups puree 5 pound round pumpkin = 3-1/3 cups puree
