I think this would be an amazing recipe for the holidays. You’re still serving a pumpkin classic, but it comes from the Crockpot. So, a free oven, and a no-worry dessert!
This Crockpot Pumpkin Caramel Cake recipe calls for one can of pumpkin puree. If you like to make your own pumpkin puree, just sub in about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of your homemade puree instead of the canned.

To cook it, yes.
So courious to know what size crockpot
I used your average oval 6-7 quart slow cooker
Can I use a dutch oven in place of a crockpot?
I haven’t tried it, but I’d guess it could work. Let me know how it goes if you try it!
This is my go-to for cakes. I brought this to a dinner party and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. Last week I made several to give as gifts to friends. I hate store bought caramel so I made my own which was amazing.
