I've already confessed to being a lover of all things pumpkin on this site. And you can find multiple pumpkin recipes here. However, this particular cake was born from my dad's imagination rather than my own.

⭐ An Updated Tradition
For his birthday this year, my dad asked for a "pumpkin cake with some sort of cream cheese frosting." I took that and ran with it; adding caramel sauce and some Swiss meringue buttercream for good measure. Our family has enjoyed a pumpkin roll cake for Thanksgiving for years. This cake turned out so well, we all chose to have it at Thanksgiving in leu of the pumpkin roll. If you know our family, you know updating traditional items at a holiday meal for something new is a BIG DEAL! When this cake appeared for the Thanksgiving dessert lineup, there wasn't a single complaint or question about where the usual roll cake was. That sealed the deal, this recipe is a keeper for sure!
