Directions

  2. 2

    In medium bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed about 2 minutes or until very thick and lemon colored. Beat in pumpkin until well mixed. Gradually beat in dry cake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves on low speed; continue beating 1 minute. Pour into pan, spreading to corners.

About this Recipe

Ready to impress your guests with a stunning dessert that tastes like autumn? This Spiced Pumpkin Praline Roll delivers all the cozy flavors you crave in an elegant package, and it's simpler to make than you think.

What makes this dessert a true standout is its clever use of Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ yellow cake mix, streamlining the baking process without sacrificing flavor or texture. This approach lets you create a professional-looking dessert with less fuss, making you look like a boss in the kitchen. The combination of rich pumpkin, warm spices, and a creamy praline filling creates a harmonious balance that's hard to resist, setting it apart as a genuine showstopper.

Imagine a delicate, moist pumpkin cake infused with the comforting aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. This tender cake is generously spread with a sweet, tangy cream cheese filling, made rich with brown sugar, and studded with delightful, crunchy toasted pecans. The Spiced Pumpkin Praline Roll offers layers of flavor and texture in every bite—a soft cake, a luscious, smooth filling, and the delightful crisp of the praline pecans. It's the perfect showstopper for any fall gathering, delivering a truly luxurious dessert experience that’s easier to achieve than its elegant appearance suggests.

While toasted pecans are essential for that signature praline crunch, you could experiment with walnuts or even a mix of nuts for a slightly different texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to suit your personal taste, perhaps adding a pinch of ground ginger for extra warmth. For a less sweet filling, you might slightly reduce the brown sugar, though it is key to the praline character. Just remember to use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix, for the best results.

This Spiced Pumpkin Praline Roll is the ultimate centerpiece for your fall dessert tray, perfect for Thanksgiving, holiday parties, or any occasion where you want to serve a memorable, seasonal treat that will delight everyone around your table.
