If you like pumpkin flavored treats, you'll love this layer cake!

Two light and fluffy pumpkin cakes are cut in half and slathered with a pumpkin cream cheese filling to make a rich and decadent four-layer cake.

The cake is topped off with toasted pecans and caramel sauce. A very delicious combination of flavors!

Cutting into the cake exposes all the creamy, pumpkin layers. Yum!
