Description

Ingredients

• 1 2/3 cups all-purpose (white whole wheat flour works wonderfully too) (measured correctly - spoon and sweep method)
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2/3 cup canned pure pumpkin or pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 25 whole pecans (feel free to add chopped pecans and stir into the batter instead)
• Topping
• 1 1/2 cups very hot or boiling water
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

• In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar (to remove any lumps), baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Whisk until combined.
• Add milk, pumpkin and melted butter and mix until smooth.
• Spread batter into the bottom of the slow cooker (a 4 or 5 quart work best)
• Top with pecans, pressing firmly into the batter.
• Add brown sugar and water into a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until simmering and sugar dissolves. Carefully pour into slow cooker over the batter. (The nuts may float around but this is okay)
• Place two paper towels or a large cheesecloth over the top of the slow cooker (this prevents any steam from dripping on the cake) then carefully place lid on top and cook on high for 1 - 2 1/4 hours (depending on how hot your slow cooker runs), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.(check on cake at 1 hour then every 30 minutes after)
• Serve warm, spooning sauce from bottom of pan over cake and with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
