Peek-a-Boo Pumpkin Cake

This cake is the attention-getter of the treats. When I first saw it on Pinterest I thought it had to be too good to be true, so I went into baking it very skeptically. If I had to do the recipe over again I would add a smidge more food coloring to the center, I think a little more definition to the pumpkin would help it pop in visibility a bit more.

I would also not recommend using the frosting that the recipe calls for. When I made it, it just tasted like powdered sugar in frosting form. I actually used the frosting from this recipe which made for a great accent to the cake. For maximum “wow factor”, I would recommend slicing the first slice off before you show it off because the ends might not have as much of the pumpkin-filled center.

Definitive Ranking

Everyone who ate this cake really enjoyed it. The tastiness of it is a great perk, but everyone was fascinated with how I did it, so you may have to have a speech rehearsed with quick directions to give to just about everyone who attends your party.
